Sensors / Instrumentation

Metering and measurement - temperature, pressure, flow, level, vibration, energy, water, gas and air. Everything else on this list is easier to judge when it is measured, and most of it is not.

16 types, and what a survey records

Equipment type	Recorded for each one
Temperature Sensor	Measured parameter · Range · Output type · Communication protocol
Pressure Sensor	Measured parameter · Range · Output type · Communication protocol
Flow Meter	Measured parameter · Range · Flow meter type · Output type · Communication protocol
Level Sensor	Measured parameter · Range · Output type · Communication protocol
Vibration Sensor	Measured parameter · Range · Output type · Communication protocol
Power / Energy Meter	Measured parameter · Range · Meter type · Output type · Communication protocol
Gas Detector	Measured parameter / gas type · Range · Output type · Communication protocol
Humidity Sensor	What it measures · Range · Output / protocol · Logged to · Calibration interval
Water Meter	What it measures · Range · Output / protocol · Logged to · Calibration interval
Gas Meter (Sub)	What it measures · Range · Output / protocol · Logged to · Calibration interval
Compressed Air Flow Meter	What it measures · Range · Output / protocol · Logged to · Calibration interval
Current / CT Clamp	What it measures · Range · Output / protocol · Logged to · Calibration interval
Load Cell / Weighing	What it measures · Range · Output / protocol · Logged to · Calibration interval
pH / Conductivity Probe	What it measures · Range · Output / protocol · Logged to · Calibration interval
Particle Counter	What it measures · Range · Output / protocol · Logged to · Calibration interval
Thermal Imaging Camera	What it measures · Range · Output / protocol · Logged to · Calibration interval

Anything not listed is recorded under “Other Sensors / Instrumentation” — no list of industrial equipment is ever finished, and a register that pretends otherwise forces people to pick something untrue.
