Features: This book comprehensively introduces the basic principles of various types of sensors and common detection methods for quantities in production and scientific research by categorizing them based on the parameters being measured. The book avoids complex derivations in advanced mathematics and explains the principles and characteristics of sensors in simple language with clear illustrations, making it accessible for readers with secondary education or higher to self-study. The book is divided into 9 chapters. Chapter 1 covers basic knowledge, introducing the definition, function, and composition of sensors, sensor classification, performance indicators, general requirements for sensors, and trends in sensor development. The following 8 chapters temperature sensors, pressure sensors, displacement sensors, flow sensors, level sensors, rotational speed sensors, velocity sensors, torque sensors, vibration sensors, gas sensors, humidity sensors, and oil concentration sensors. This book can be used as a textbook or self-study reference for engineering technicians and faculty and students of vocational and technical colleges. It can also serve as a training material for updating knowledge for marine engineers.
