Sensor and it types

Defn:
        A sensor (also called detector) is a converter that measures a physical quantity and converts it into a signal which can be read by an observer or by an (today mostly electronic) instrument.
        It operates based on the vibration produced by viscometer.


Types:

Defect detector, used on railroads to detect axle and signal problems in passing trains

Engine coolant temperature sensor, or ECT sensor, used to measure the engine temperature

Hall effect sensor, used to time the speed of wheels and shafts

MAP sensor, Manifold Absolute Pressure, used in regulating fuel metering.

Mass flow sensor, or mass airflow (MAF) sensor, used to tell the ECU the mass of air entering the engine

Oxygen sensor, used to monitor the amount of oxygen in the exhaust

Parking sensors, used to alert the driver of unseen obstacles during parking manoeuvres

Radar gun, used to detect the speed of other objects

Speedometer, used measure the instantaneous speed of a land vehicle

Speed sensor, used to detect the speed of an object

Throttle position sensor, used to monitor the position of the throttle in an internal combustion engine

Tire-pressure monitoring sensor, used to monitor the air pressure inside the tires

Torque sensor, or torque transducer or torquemeter measures torque (twisting force) on a rotating system.

Transmission fluid temperature sensor, used to measure the temperature of the transmission fluid

Turbine speed sensor (TSS), or input speed sensor (ISS), used to measure the rotational speed of the input shaft or torque converter

Variable reluctance sensor, used to measure position and speed of moving metal components

Vehicle speed sensor (VSS), used to measure the speed of the vehicle

Water sensor or water-in-fuel sensor, used to indicate the presence of water in fuel

Wheel speed sensor, used for reading the speed of a vehicle's wheel rotation

Hardwork can never ever fails...
