闭环: A control system that provides feedback to a controller on the state of the process variable.
冷端: The end of thermocouple that is kept at a constant temperature in order to provide a reference point.
联系人:用于机械制造或打破电路的元素。

介电:电容器的导体之间的绝缘材料。
介电常数:材料绝缘能力与真空绝缘能力的比率。
din: Deutsches Institut für Normung e.V., The German national organization for standardization and is that country’s ISO member body. DIN and mini-DIN connectors, as well as DIN rails are several examples of older DIN standards that are today used around the world.
Direct Current (DC):具有恒定极性的电流。
双极双掷(DPDT)开关: Two separate switches that operate simultaneously, each with a normally open and a normally closed contact and a common connection.
漂移: A gradual change in an element over time when the process conditions are constant.
干灯泡温度: The ambient air temperature measured by a thermometer that is freely exposed to the air but shielded from other heating or cooling effects.
Emissivity: The ratio of energy radiated by the material to energy radiated by a black body at the same temperature. It is a measure of a material’s ability to absorb and radiate energy.
Form-C Contact:具有常开和常闭触点的接触。
模糊逻辑:一种使用基于模拟输入的模糊集的数学或计算推理的系统。
Gage Pressure (psig): The measure of force per area exerted by a fluid using atmospheric pressure as the zero reference.

热门交界处: The joined end of the thermocouple that is exposed to the process where the temperature measurement is desired.
湿度: The amount of water vapor in a given volume of air or gas.
Laminar Flow: Smooth fluid flow that has a parabolic flow profile with no mixing between streamlines.
线性: Ability of a measuring instrument to provide an indication having a linear relationship with a defined quantity other than an influence quantity. [IEC 60050-300]
注意: The method of expression of lack of linearity is different for different kinds of instruments and is established in each particular instance.
Long-Term Span Drift: The amount of change of a measured reading with 90% of full scale range pressure applied and constant ambient conditions over a given period of time which is typically quoted as an annual figure. [IEC 61298-2]

Maximum Surge Pressure:开关外壳的安全压力,但这可能通过连续或重复应用损坏机制。
3-A: 3-A Sanitary Standards Inc., A non-profit association representing equipment manufacturers, processors, regulatory sanitarians, and other public health professionals that creates standards and accepted practices for dairy and food processing equipment and systems.
Total Pressure:速度和静压之和。
传感器:任何从物理测量产生电信号的设备。
发射机: A device that translates the low-level output of a sensor or transducer to a higher level signal suitable for transmission to a site where it can be further processed.
Turbulent Flow: Fluid flow in which the flow profile is a flattened parabola, the streamlines are not present, and the fluid is freely mixing.
调低比: The ratio of the maximum to minimum measurable value that can still produce full-scale output.
Velocity Pressure (Dynamic Pressure): The pressure exerted by the velocity of a fluid. Can be measured by the difference between total and static pressure.
