Contamination is one of the most common causes of mass air flow sensor malfunction, so being able to clean and test sensors can prolong their lifetime.
Given how vital mass air flow sensors are in many applications, keeping these sensors in good working order is crucial to avoid equipment failure.
This article will look at some of the key advantages and disadvantages of the use of mass air flow sensors for different applications.
The most common application of mass air flow sensors is measuring mass flow rates of air for fuel-injected combustion engines.
Mass air flow sensors are a type of sensor used to measure mass air flow; working out the rate of gas passing through a given point at a given time.
Encoder sensors are a type of mechanical motion sensor that create a digital signal from a motion.
