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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The old saying “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” cautions against tampering with something that performs reliably and regularly proves its worth. Arguably, this advice applies to the circuit design ...

Starting with the sensor, measuring and controlling temperature is an essential building block of process industries. Automatic control in continuous processes uses industrial control systems to ...

Temperature is one of the most common environmental metrics that is measured in electronic systems, and numerous sensor types are available to meet the various application requirements of embedded ...

Accurate measurement using sensor elements requires precise and local measurement of the element’s temperature for correction and compensation across a wide operating range. Thus, an integral part of ...

Traditionally, resistance-temperature-detector (RTD) sensor resistance is measured by applying a precision current source and measuring the developed voltage. This approach usually requires a ...

Control the temperature of the fluids and air servicing a building. The costs of ignoring temperature accuracy in energy measurement (British Thermal Unit) can be worse than expected. Inaccuracy ...
