Scope

GB/T 7666-2026 is the English-translated version of 传感器命名法及代码.

GB/T 7666-2026 is the Chinese national standard covering how a sensor is named and coded - the measurand, the principle, the type and the variant, assembled into a designation that identifies the device without a catalogue. It replaces GB/T 7666-2005 and takes effect on 1 December 2026, together with the sensor vocabulary GB/T 7665-2026 revised at the same time. It was issued on 25 May 2026 and takes effect on 1 December 2026, replacing GB/T 7666-2005. The document is under the responsibility of the China Machinery Industry Federation. This page is published from the official record of the 2026 edition; the clause text of a standard this recent is not yet in circulation, and the figures, limits and tables it contains are those of the document itself, delivered in full with the English translation.

1.Scope This document describes the naming and designation methods for sensors, and defines the sensor designation. This document applies to the naming and designation of sensors in production, scientific research, teaching, and other related fields.

4.1 The Structure of Naming Conventions

4.1.1 The name of a sensor product shall consist of a subject term plus a fourth-level modifier.

4.1.3 First-level modifiers

--- the measured quantity, including attributives that modify the measured quantity.

4.1.4 Second-level modifiers

---conversion principle, which can generally be followed by the word "style".

4.1.5 Third-level modifiers - Feature descriptions, which must emphasize the sensor's structure, performance, material characteristics, sensing elements, and application scenarios. Other necessary performance characteristics are generally followed by the word "type".

4.1.6 Fourth-level modifiers

--- main technical indicators (range, measurement range, accuracy, etc.).

4.2 Naming Convention Examples

4.2.1 Usage in the question In special cases such as statistical tables, book indexes, and searches related to sensors, the naming convention should follow the order specified in 4.1.

4.2.2 Usage in the main text In technical documents, product brochures, academic papers, textbooks, and publications, the product name should use the opposite approach as described in section 4.1. order.

5 Sensor designation method

5.1 Composition of Sensor Codes This document stipulates that the complete designation of a sensor should be composed of uppercase Chinese Pinyin letters (or internationally recognized symbols) and Arabic numerals.

5.2 Meaning of the codes for each part

5.2.1 Part One The main term (sensor) is marked with the Chinese pinyin letter "C".

5.2.2 Part Two The measurement is indicated by the first capital letter of one or two Chinese characters' Pinyin (see Table 2). When this set of codes matches the part... If another code is repeated, the second capital letter of its Chinese pinyin is used as the code. And so on. When the measurement has an internationally recognized symbol... When measuring ions, particles, or gases, internationally recognized symbols should be used. The element symbol, particle symbol, or molecular formula can be used with the following symbols. "()"express.

5.2.3 Part Three The conversion principle uses the first capital letter of the pinyin of one or two Chinese characters as a marker (see Table 3). When this set of codes matches the part... If another code is repeated, the second capital letter of its Chinese pinyin is used as the code. And so on. When the conversion principle is internationally accepted... When using signs, internationally recognized signs should be adopted.

5.2.4 Part Four The serial number is marked with a combination of numbers, letters, or symbols, with Arabic numerals used for numbers. The serial number can represent product design features, performance parameters, and production... Product series, etc. If the main performance parameters of a sensor product remain unchanged, and only some parts are improved or modified, its serial number can be appended to the original serial number. Add the uppercase Chinese pinyin letters A, B, C sequentially (excluding I and O). The serial number and its meaning can be generated by the sensor. The manufacturer decides for itself.

6 Sensor Code

6.1 Commonly Used Measured Symbols Examples of commonly used measurand symbols can be found in Table 2.
