Abstract

 The limits of sensors in harsh environments are discussed. Failures of sensor materials, interconnects, and cables are shown. Remote measurements can be solutions to overcome material problems. Sensor material and measurement systems are presented for cases such as high temperature, high pressure, toxicity, explosiveness, nuclear radiation, and high electromagnetic pulse (EMP) levels.
