The specimen was enclosed in a bellows vessel with silicone oil. This vessel was placed in a pressure vessel filled with another silicone oil and it was heated by an electric heater through the pressure vessel and outer oil jacket. The outer silicone oil was pressurized by a piston and an actuator. Thus at a given temperature, we could apply a hydrostatic pressure to the specimen through the bellows vessel. The volume change of the specimen was calculated from the displacement of the bellows measured using an LVDT (linear variable differential transformer). Inside the transformer, a pin was connected to an iron core and the pin was pushed by the bellows. At a translation of the bellows, the core, which was pressurized in a stainless steel pipe, also moved and the position of the core was detected by an LVDT coil from the outside of the pipe.

The micrometer and dial gauge are simple mechanical devices. In many cases, one would like to have a continuous record of the thickness measurement. The LVDT (linear variable differential transformer) provides an electrical signal that can be used to monitor the thickness on a recorder. The LVDT is a device in which the displacement of an iron core changes the inductive coupling between primary and secondary coils see Fig. 4.20.

In most cases the pressure is detected using diaphragm sensors classified in terms of sensing element as metal strain gauge, piezoelectric semiconductor, electric capacitance, reluctance, and LVDT (linear variable-differential transformers) sensors. The structure of a silicon semiconductor sensor, where the pressure is detected by a silicon diaphragm, is shown in Fig. 5. In most cases these sensors can be used at temperatures lower than 70°C.

A TMA analyser will need to measure accurately both the temperature of the sample, and very small movements of a probe in contact with the surface of the sample. A typical analyser, as illustrated in Figure 11.20(a) and (b), uses a quartz probe containing a thermocouple for temperature measurement, and is coupled to the core of a linear variable differential transformer (LVDT). Small movements at the sample surface are transmitted to the core of the LVDT and converted into an electrical signal. In this way samples ranging from a few microns to centimetre thicknesses may be studied with sensitivity to movements of a few microns. For studying different mechanical properties the detailed construction of the probe will vary as is illustrated in Figure 11.20(c).

An associated type of transducer is the Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) which is essentially a transformer with a single primary winding and two identical secondary windings wound on a tubular ferromagnetic former. The primary winding is energised by an a.c. source (see Fig. 6.13).

A device which provides accurate position indication throughout the range of valve or control rod travel is a linear variable differential transformer (LVDT), illustrated in Figure 6. Unlike the potentiometer position indicator, no physical connection to the extension is required. 

The position can also be determined in a resistive or voltage mode. In the resistive mode, a current is sent to the center tap and to one of the end terminals, whereas the resulting voltage drop is measured by the transmitter. A potentiometer has an infinite resolution. Linearity for a precision rotary potentiometer can be as good as 0.25%. However, due to linkages and gears, the linearity for the entire assembly usually is about 0.5-1%. A linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) is mostly used in linear motion applications and also inside some pressure transmitters (Figure 3.131). 

The operating principle of an (linear variable differential transformer) LVDT-type sensor. 

The operation of proximity sensors can be based on a wide range of principles, including capacitance, induction, Hall and magnetic effects variable reluctance, linear variable differential transformer (LVDT), variable resistor mechanical and electromechanical limit switches optical, photoelectric, or fiber-optic sensors laser-based distance, dimension, or thickness sensors air gap sensors ultrasonic and displacement transducers. Their detection ranges vary from micrometers to meters, and their applications include the measurement of position, displacement, proximity, or operational limits in controlling moving components of valves and dampers. Either linear or angular position can be measured ... 

Mechanical properties of the composite materials were tested by a hydraulic-driven MTS tensile tester manufactured by MTS Systems Corporation, Minneapolis, Minnesota. A strain-rate of 5x 10 5 s 1 was used. During deformation, the linear actuactor position was monitored and controlled by a linear variable differential transformer (LVDT), while strain was measured using MTS-brand axial and diametral strain-gauge extensometers. The axial extensometer serves to measure the tensile deformation in the direction of loading while the diametral extensometer serves to measure the compressive deformation at 90° to the loading axis due to Poisson s contraction. All tensile tests were performed at 23 °C and in accordance to ASTM D3518-76. 

Linear variable differential transformer (LVDT, Fig. 2) is a device that produces voltage proportional to the position of a core rod inside a cylinder body. It measures displacement or a position of an object relative to some predefined zero location. On tablet presses, LVDTs are used to measure punch displacement and in-die thickness. They generally have very high precision and accuracy, but there are numerous practical concerns regarding improper mounting or maintenance of such transducers on tablet presses. 

The instruments have a furnace, and mostly a linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) to produce an electrical signal from a linear movement. An additional unit controls the force applied. Special attachments allow the same instrument to work in different modes such as elongation, compression, penetration, or tension. 

Tensile and compressive tests were performed at room temperature with a tensile testing machine (DY25, Adamel-Lhomargy). For the tensile tests, strain measurements were performed with an extensometer (EX-10) at a strain rate of 3.3 x 10-4 s-1, using ISO-60 standard specimens. Samples of dimension 20 x 12 x 6 mm were deformed in a compression cage between polished steel plates. The nominal strain was determined by averaging the results from two linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) transducers. The strain rate used was 8.3 x 10"4 s-1.
