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 ...

Temperature is one of the most frequently measured physical quantities, and features prominently in many of our projects, from weather stations to 3D printers. Most commonly we’ll see thermistors, ...

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 ...

The vendor’s ProSense line of process sensors now includes 0.25-inch RTD temperature probes. The three-wire, 100 ohm platinum RTD probes are made of durable 316 stainless steel and measure ...

The nickel-thin-film RTD (resistance-temperature-detector) sensors provide a large change resistance in response to temperature changes at a lower cost than nickel wirewound RTD elements. The sensors ...

The iTHERM TruSens temperature sensor from Endress+Hauser calibrates itself after every Sterilize in Place (SIP) operation. The self-calibration process functions in situ and provides the necessary ...

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 ...

Palmer-Wahl Instrumentation Group has introduced a new series of Italcoppie-brand RTD probes that the company says offer long-lasting, accurate temperature measuring in harsh operating conditions and ...

This software-controlled RTD emulator produces voltages that cover the output range of the sensor. It supports all three RTD wiring configurations and associated sense-wire configurations. Before ...

There are several types of temperature sensors which can be used in a temperature system. The temperature sensor to use depends on the temperature range being measured and the accuracy required. Along ...
