The two most common types of temperature sensors in industrial applications are resistance temperature devices (RTD) and thermocouples. The two most common types of temperature sensors in industrial ...

The purpose of this application note is to explore the more common temperature measurement techniques, and introduce procedures for improving their accuracy. We will focus on the four most common ...

Although temperature is a fundamental aspect of our lives, it is difficult to measure accurately. Before the era of modern electronics, Galileo invented a rudimentary thermometer capable of detecting ...

An RTD (resistance temperature detector) is a temperature sensor that operates on the measurement principle that a material’s electrical resistance changes with temperature. The relationship between ...

Thermocouples function on the principle of the Seebeck effect, which states that two dissimilar metals combined at two junctions produce an electromotive force, or EMF, at the junctions. The metals ...

Measuring temperature turns out to be a fundamental function for a huge number of devices. You furnace’s programmable thermostat and digital clocks are obvious examples. If you just needed to know if ...
