I guess that the transducer (the sensor element) is in the gas stream and is part of a complete O level measuring system

Richard Benham
: "Sensoring element" doesn't sound like English to me. Try "sensor element" or even "sensing element". The eleventh letter of the Greek alphabet is LAMBDA (actually, I have read that "labda" is more correct, but it has no currency.)

You're right, Richard. Thank you. I meant "sensing element."
