Steam Turbine Position Sensor Cross Reference GE and Westinghouse Part Numbers to Macro Sensors LVRTs and LVDTs Model Numbers

Cross reference for OEM part numbers to Macro Sensors part numbers pertaining to GE and Siemens Westinghouse Steam Turbine Control Valve Position Sensors. This includes sensors for conditioning, stop, feed water boiler pump valves and other control valve position sensors in Steam Turbine Control systems.

Signal Conditioning Terms & Definitions

Accuracy: The closeness of an indication or reading of a measurement
device to the actual value of the quantity being measured. Accuracy calculations
are based on the linearity, hysteresis, and repeatability characteristics of
the transducer/sensor and supporting electronics, the range of the transducer/
sensor, as well as the resolution being displayed. It is usually expressed as
a ±% of full scale output of the transducer/sensor/system.

Signal Conditioners General Information

While there are many different types of signal conditioners, their basic function is to change or alter signals so that different process devices can communicate with each other accurately. Signal conditioners are most commonly needed to link temperature, pressure, weighing, level and flow devices with indicators, recorders, and computerized process monitoring and control systems. Signal conditioners can also perform some other tasks for you as listed below:
