We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Sensor Housing",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release High-temperature IR sensor needs no cooling from
Micro-Epsilon UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "Noncontact sensor enables temperature measurements from - 40 to +975C in ambient temperatures up to 250C without any cooling of the sensor head".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Ultrasonic sensors provide level monitoring from
Baumer Electric: "Baumer's UNAR ultrasonic sensors can detect media and objects securely and reliably, regardless of their surface characteristics and colour".
In June 2007, we covered the news from IFM Electronic
concerning its IFM M8 sensors
- take a look at Sensors handle food industry conditions
which says: "IFM Electronic's M8 sensors are resistant to high-pressure cleaning and aggressive cleaning agents".
Take a look also at the news release from Invensys Foxboro, Conductivity sensor analyses low volumes,
as well as Data logger endures sea water from SensorsOne,
and Level transmitter resists corrosion from SensorsOne.
