Most engineers understand the concept of pressure. It’s a force, often measured in pounds, on a specific area. It is commonly listed in pounds per square inch (psi). But there are a variety of ...

Tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) are relatively new additions to your car’s suite of sensors. At least if you’re old enough to remember when keeping an eye on tire pressures was boasted about ...

What’s the difference between a transmitter and a sensor? Nine different types of sensor transmitters. How does each type of transmitter work? What are the components of each transmitter type? Sensors ...

Improper pressure-sensing line design or installation is often found to be the cause of poor sensing system accuracy and response time. Here’s how to identify and solve those pesky pressure sensor ...

Seasons change, and shifting temperatures are in the forecast. Even when it doesn’t feel like much, the expansion of hot air or shrinkage of cold air often impacts tire pressures, which is why you’re ...

Today’s smartphones utilize a wide array of accelerometers, gyroscopes and various other sensors in their designs. Relatively unknown is the barometric pressure sensor, which measures air pressure.

What would be the harm (if any) in running steel rims with winter tires without the tire pressure sensor components installed? My reasoning is this: The purchase price of the modules is about $60 per ...
