Sensor Recalibration Provides Confidence in Measurement Situations Is it time to recalibrate your sensors? Degree Controls recommends that sensors be recalibrated on an annual basis to verify that they meet or exceed the published specifications. Sensor recalibration helps to ensure that measurements of control variables are accurate for your experimentation and production processes. Degree Controls […]
The Rooster Sensor100 with color display is a fully calibrated, out of box solution, ready for continuous tracking of air velocity or volumetric flow. Facility Managers and regulatory bodies pay special attention to airflow measurement for the safety of personnel and efficiency of environmental control methods. Control techniques used in industrial applications depend on feedback […]
Monitor Electronics Moving air is an effective option to keep electronics cool. When hardware issues such as fan failure occur within dense electronic systems and enclosures, overheating, component damage, unstable operation or even catastrophic failure may result. Airflow management using pcb mount air velocity sensors to provide real-time feedback can identify problem areas before damage […]

As the year-end approaches, this may be a good time to schedule preventive maintenance for your fogger instruments. Degree Controls provides general cleaning services for its °C Breeze and FlowMarker™ Fog Generators, and we suggest that this be done on an annual basis. Fogger cleaning is done with care, by experts, and includes a battery […]
Need to add basis to your efficiency conversations? Collect the data first. Proper cooling architecture is of the utmost importance when considering overall energy consumption and cost effectiveness within a data center. PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness), RCI (Rack Cooling Index), and COP (Coefficient of Performance) are measures that deserve to be part of cooling and […]
Is it time to calibrate your airflow sensors and instrumentation? Calibration is about measurement accuracy. Degree Controls recommends a recalibration service be performed once every 12 months for airflow sensors and sensing arrays, as well as for °C Port data acquisition instruments with built-in barometric pressure sensing. Properly calibrated airflow instrumentation gives you confidence that […]
The UHS1000 Humidity Sensor The UHS1000 is a relative humidity (RH) sensor, measuring the water vapor content of air, and features the convenience of USB connectivity. UHS1000 is most often used with its companion sensors, the UAS1000 (Air Velocity), and UTS1000/RTD1000 (Air and Surface Temperature) sensors, to create multipoint and multifactor environmental testing. In addition, […]
Do you need an air velocity sensor to CFM test your ceiling fans? The UAS1000 OD (“omnidirectional”) air velocity and temperature sensor is purpose-built for CFM (cubic feet of airflow per minute) testing of ceiling fans. Optimized for circulating air and applications where the predominant flow vector is well known, the UAS1000 OD is calibrated […]
The covid-19 pandemic has generated an increased interest in airflow and cleaning the air. Air cleaners, also referred to as air purifiers or sanitizers, use differing technologies including HEPA filtration, activated carbon filtration, ultraviolet (UV) germicidal irradiation, or multiple technologies such as filtration with UV disinfection. The ASHRAE Position Document on Filtration and Air Cleaning provides information on these […]
