Oil, the original meaning is the mixed liquid of fat or mineral hydrocarbons contained in animals and plants, generally insoluble in water and easy to burn. Such as: tankers, grease, butter, oil, cooking oil, gasoline, etc.

Oil pressure sensor
Oil pressure sensor is a device that converts pressure signal into electrical signal through piezoresistive effect. Oil pressure sensor is one of the most commonly used sensors in the industry. It is widely used in various industrial automatic control environments, involving water conservancy and hydropower, construction machinery, aerospace, transportation, petrochemical, machine tools, pipelines and many other industries. As an important part of hydraulic equipment, pressure sensor is used for pressure measurement and control. It can accurately measure the pressure to be measured and transmit the test results to subsequent display or control in a timely manner.
Oil online densitometer
In the process of oil extraction, all liquids and oils need to be tested for density or concentration, which requires an online density meter. SenTec Intelligent online density meter (also called online density transmitter) is a device for continuous online measurement of the concentration and density of liquids, which can be directly used in industrial production processes. Commonly used industrial online liquid density meters include static pressure density meter, vibration type density meter and laser density meter. According to installation, it can divided into tank densitometer and pipeline densitometer.
Advantages of online liquid oil densitometer:
* The use of industrial-grade high-performance micro-controller integrated circuit, high accuracy, good stability, strong anti-jamming ability.
*Power supply using isolation circuit design, wide-format precision power supply, impact resistance, anti-jamming.
*”Plug and use, maintenance-free” measurements for monitoring and controlling continuous measurements
*Sensor signal with photoelectric compartment design with 4-20 mA output, connectivity PLC control system
*Long rod type is suitable for use in open and sealed tanks and cans up to 2m in length
*Explosion-proof certification

Oil Flow Meter
In the oil, gas, food industry, the flow of oil should be measured in each phase, such as manufacturing, transportation and so on. Different type oil is needed to measure, such as diesel, petrol, crude oil, fuel, gasoline, edible oil, hot oil vegetable oil, lubricating/hydraulic oils and so on.SenTec supply China oil flow meter from manufactures at low price cost, and all oil flow meters are with stable performance and rugged construction.
Different type oil flow meters are needed:
* Mechanical oil flow meter or digital oil flow meter with flow transmitter
* In-line type oil sensor or non-invasive type flow sensor
* High viscosity oil flow meter or normal viscosity oil flow meter
* Stainless steel oil flow meter or just need cast iron or steel material?
* Volumetric oil flow measurement or mass flow oil
* High temperature oil or normal operation temperature
Oil Level Transmitter
The oil level transmitter is a device that analyzes the the change of the capacitance between the sensor shell and inductive electrodes after the oil enters the container, and the change will be converted into current to detect the level (height) of oil in the container.
The sensing element of the capacitive oil level transmitter is a coaxial container. When the oil enters the container, the capacitance between the sensor shell and the inductive electrodes changes. The change volume is converted through the circuit. With accurate linear and temperature compensation, the standard signal of 4-20mA is output to the display instrument.

Oil Temperature Sensor
A temperature sensor is a sensor that can sense the temperature and change it to a useful output signal. Temperature sensor is the core part of temperature measurement instruments. The temperature sensor is divided into two categories by its measuring methods: contact type and non-contact type. And according to the characteristics of sensor materials and electronic components, it can also fall into the categories of thermal resistance and thermocouple. The oil temperature sensor is one of them.
The oil temperature sensor adopts thermistor, which uses semiconductor materials. Mostly of the sensors employ negative temperature coefficient — the resistance decreases with increasing temperature. The change of temperature can cause significant changes of resistance, so it is the most sensitive temperature sensor.
