The two most common types of temperature sensors in industrial applications are resistance temperature devices (RTD) and thermocouples. Choosing correctly can be crucial to the success of your ...

Temperature is the most widely measured variable in the process industries, and it is often a critical factor in industrial processing. If a temperature measurement is not accurate or reliable, it can ...

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 ...

This series of blogs was first published on the late, lamented forum, Microcontroller Central. I have modified it very slightly. In my opinion the best place to start whenever you discuss temperature ...

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 ...

Various types of temperature measurement devices, with an inventory of more than 10,000 different components, are available from OMEGA. Examples are thermocouple wire, infra-red camera, temperature ...

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 ...
