Knowledge base / What we measure
What we measure.
Every sensor and measurement type Augos Sense captures, each on its own page with how it is measured and where it is used. Some serve several of the eight areas, so you will see them referenced across the site.
Temperature & moisture
Air temperature
The ambient temperature of the air.
Equipment temperature
The surface, bearing or casing temperature of a machine.
Soil temperature
The temperature in the root zone of the soil.
Humidity
The relative humidity of the air.
Dew point
The temperature at which the air saturates and condenses.
Wet-bulb temperature
The temperature accounting for evaporative cooling, a measure of heat stress.
Weather
Wind speed & direction
How hard the wind is blowing and from which direction.
Rainfall
Precipitation measured over time.
Irradiance
The solar energy landing on a surface.
Barometric pressure
The atmospheric pressure at the site.
Water, soil & fluids
Soil moisture
The water content of the soil, by depth.
Level
The fill level of a tank, silo, dam or channel.
Flow
The rate of liquid or gas moving through a pipe or channel.
Pressure
The pressure inside a pipe, line or vessel.
Salinity & conductivity
The salt content or electrical conductivity of soil or water.
Water quality
The pH and quality of process, supply or effluent water.
Leak detection
Escaping liquid or gas where it should not be.
Air quality
Particulate matter
Fine dust and particles in the air, as PM2.5 and PM10.
Volatile organic compounds
Volatile organic compounds given off by solvents, fuels and processes.
Nitrogen dioxide
Nitrogen dioxide, a combustion gas.
Sulphur dioxide
Sulphur dioxide, a combustion and industrial gas.
Carbon monoxide & dioxide
Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide levels in the air.
Smoke
Smoke from combustion or fire.
Industrial gas
The level or concentration of a process or hazardous gas.
Machine & motion
Vibration
The vibration signature of rotating equipment, for wear and imbalance.
Equipment state
Whether a machine is running, idle or stopped.
