Measurement Specialties capabilities allow them to engineer and manufacture custom thermistor probe solutions to meet individual specifications by combining a thermistor component, probe housing, lead configuration and connector where a surface, air, gas or liquid temperature sensor probe is required. They can engineer probes designed specifically for customer requirements ensuring that design challenges are overcome, that the probe will be cost-effective in high volumes and that the customer has specific revision control.
Measurement Specialties offers a range of thermopiles for non-contacting temperature sensing and gas concentration sensing. Thermopiles are created by lining up multiple thermocouples in series. If a temperature difference is induced between a hot junction connecting two thermocouples and their open ends (cold junctions), a voltage is created.
Thermopiles are available as components, modules on ceramic board or custom OEM systems. Eight element linear arrays are available for broader sensing areas for use in such things as microwaves and stovetop hoods. Applications include thermometers, room air conditioners, toasters, hair dryers, pyrometers, car climate controls, gas-detection and sensing of a person based on body temperature.

Pressure Sensors
Measurement Specialties is an industry leader for its breadth and quality of pressure transmitter components and transducers which include the Entran range of products. Using multiple technologies, they offer sensors that can measure inches of water up to transducers that can measure greater than 30,000 PSI. Measurement Specialties pressure products are used for a range of diverse applications in medical instrumentation, automotive, power generation and industrial equipment such as compressors, hydraulics, process controls, refrigeration and HVAC.
Board level, or PCB-mountable, pressure sensors use piezoresistive silicon die technology and are suitable for air or non-corrosive gases for pressure ranges from 1 to 500 PSI. Sensor packages include dual in-line, TO-8, TO-5, and disposable blood pressure sensors.
Measurement Specialties oil-filled stainless steel pressure sensors are suitable for use in harsh environments of liquids or gases. Many feature proprietary Ultrastable piezoresistive silicon die technology for long term reliability.
Miniature Pressure Sensor - EPRB Model
The new EPRB pressure sensor features a small, stainless steel package and amplified output. Designed for severe motorsports and environmental applications, this rugged, all-welded unit is available in pressure ranges from 100 through 3600 PSI.

Force Sensors
Measurement Specialties enables OEMs to measure force using low cost MicrofusedTM load cells. Five configurations are currently available, with customisation offered for high volume applications.
Measurement Specialities also offers packaged load cell assemblies for test and measurement applications that require high performance or unique packaging. For dynamic impact applications, such as industrial stamping or ballistics, their Piezo Film provides a reliable way to measure force up to thousands of pounds.
Measurement Specialities proprietary MicrofusedTM force sense elements are built from the same glass-bonded silicon strain gage technology used to measure pressure. This flexible technology allows them to design tension, compression or both into one simple, inexpensive construction. Features include low cost, small size, low noise, robust design, high reliablity and fast response times. MircofusedTM load cells are used in consumer, medical and industrial applications.

Humidity Sensors
Measurement Specialties humidity sensors are designed to improve performance, reduce energy consumption and increase safety. In any environment where temperature affects performance, compensating for humidity should also be considered. Typical applications for humidity sensors include automotive, appliances, HVAC and medical.
Measurement Specialties recently acquired Humirel, a world leader in the design and manufacture of innovative humidity and temperature sensors. Humirel’s proprietary manufacturing processes, derived from the semiconductor industry, are strictly controlled to guarantee consistent output. A high level of automation in the board assembly process makes these humidity/temperature sensors ideal for high volume production required for large OEM programs. Humidity sensors are available as sense components, assemblies with voltage (analog) output or PCB modules for frequency (digital) output.
In addition to their standard product offerings, Measurement Specialties provides quality technical support and works closely with customers to develop competitively priced application specific modules to meet the custom demands of large OEM projects.
