A nuclear radiation detector is a specialized device designed to detect and measure the presence of ionizing radiation in its surroundings. Ionizing radiation includes alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, and X-rays, all of which have enough energy to remove tightly bound electrons from atoms, creating charged particles (ions). Using a nuclear radiation detector properly is essential to ensure accurate measurements and, more importantly, to maintain safety. Sisco store gives you an overview of the proper way to use a nuclear radiation detector.

Oil gauging tape is a key device used to measure the level of liquid oil and is widely used in various industrial, commercial, and scientific applications, including the petroleum industry, chemical industry, aerospace, marine, water treatment, petrochemicals, environmental monitoring, and more. Oil gauging tapes can be used with different working principles to meet different application requirements. sisco.com will take an in-depth look at the working principles and processes of oil gauging tape.

Moisture meter, also called moisture meter, moisture detector, moisture meter, moisture analyzer, moisture content detector, water meter, etc., refers to the ability to detect the moisture content in various organic and inorganic solids, liquids, gases and other samples of instruments. Moisture measurement can be divided into two categories according to the measurement principle: chemical measurement method and physical measurement method. Chemical determination methods mainly include Karl Fischer method, toluene method, etc. Commonly used physical measurement methods include weight loss method, distillation stratification method, gas chromatography analysis method, etc.

A vibration meter is a handheld or portable instrument used to measure various parameters associated with mechanical vibrations. These devices are commonly used in predictive maintenance, reliability engineering, and industrial applications to assess the condition of machinery and structures. Vibration meters help identify and diagnose issues like imbalance, misalignment, bearing wear, and other mechanical problems that can lead to equipment failure. 

A salinometer is an essential scientific instrument used to measure the salinity or salt concentration in a liquid, most commonly in seawater. Salinity is a critical parameter in oceanography, environmental monitoring, and various industrial processes, including desalination, aquaculture, and water quality management. Salinometers play a crucial role in understanding the physical and chemical properties of water and ensuring the proper functioning of various systems and processes. The Sisco shop is here to give you more salinometer details.

Refractometers are fascinating instruments that play a pivotal role in various industries, from food and beverages to pharmaceuticals and gemology. These devices offer accurate measurements of a substance's refractive index, providing insights into its composition and properties. But how exactly do refractometers work? Let's delve into the science behind these instruments and uncover their mechanisms.

An anemometer is an instrument that measures static and dynamic airflow, which can be used to measure wind speed, wind force and wind direction in the air. It uses a rotating blade and is measured in feet per second or meters per second (m/s). The accuracy of the anemometer is very high, and its readings can have very good accuracy in the range of 0.1 m/s. It can also measure wind speed under low temperature, low humidity and other environmental conditions, and can quickly and accurately measure the direction of airflow. So, how much do you know about the working principle of the anemometer? Next, this article will take you to understand the working principle and application knowledge of the anemometer.

Metal detectors are widely used in examinations, security checks, archaeology and prospecting, etc., bringing more convenience to people's lives. So how do metal detectors accomplish these tasks? Next, ATO will introduce the working principle, application and structure function of the metal detector to you.

The water leak detector is a device used to detect whether there are water leakage problems in water source equipment such as pipes, water tanks, and pools. Its working principle is to judge whether there is a water leakage problem by detecting the environmental changes around the water source equipment. Next, the ATO will introduce you to the working principle of the water leak detector.

In contrast to power and energy meters, which can directly measure the loss of fiber optic cable equipment, optical time domain reflectometers (OTDR) work  indirectly. Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) is made according to the principle of backward scattering and Fresnel inversion of light, using the backward scattered light generated when the light propagates in the optical fiber to obtain information about the attenuation, thus indirectly measuring the loss and fault location of optical fiber cables.
