The phrase "a sensor for measuring" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when describing a device or instrument that is designed to quantify or assess a specific variable or parameter.
Example: "The engineer installed a sensor for measuring temperature in the laboratory to ensure optimal conditions for the experiment."
Alternatives: "a device for gauging" or "an instrument for assessing".
The magnetometer is a sensor for measuring magnetic induction.
To control the level of oxygen dissolved in lead or PbBi, a sensor for measuring the oxygen activity is required.
A sensor for measuring small convective heat flows (<0.2 W/cm2) from micro-structured surfaces is designed and tested.
The design of a sensor for measuring the temperature of the soil rather than the axial heating wire temperature has consequences for the modeling of heat flow.
This paper describes a sensor for measuring the mass flux of aeolian sand transport based on a low-cost piezo-electric transducer.
A gyroscope is a sensor for measuring an angular rate or angle based on the principles of angular momentum.
After we decided that an optical encoder would be a better sensor for measuring tilt than an accelerometer, we wrote the sensor controller code.
The Smart Cities sensor board includes a linear displacement sensor for detecting cracks in building and infrastructures, a particle sensor for measuring air-suspended pollutants and a microphone for A-level weighted sound loudness.
We designed an optical sensor for measuring a tensile strain by using a diffraction grating and a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) interferometer, and analyzed the periodic nonlinearity effect and the thermal effects in the sensor.
A blackbody cavity is used as a temperature sensor for measuring the average temperature of the molten liquid.
There are some adapted capnographs for rodents that utilise small volumes and are equipped with a pressure sensor for measuring tracheal pressure and a pneumotach with differential pressure transducer for measuring respiratory airflow.
