What are the common types of sensors and how do I calibrate them?

What are the common types of sensors used in industry?

Common types of sensors include temperature sensors, pressure sensors, proximity sensors, and flow sensors.

How do I calibrate a temperature sensor?

To calibrate a temperature sensor, you can use a reference thermometer and adjust the sensor output to match the reference.

What tools do I need for sensor calibration?

You'll typically need a calibration standard, a multimeter, and sometimes a temperature bath or pressure source.

Are there specific calibration procedures for different sensors?

Yes, each sensor type has its own calibration procedure, often detailed in the manufacturer's guidelines.
