Blaze is honored to be apart of the Dunn funny car and apart of the Dunn family. We can’t wait to see everyone at the track! Cattleman’s Cut Beef Jerky, sponsor of the Jim Dunn Racing Funny Car, will recognize America’s first responders in the health profession with a thankful message and patriotic mask design…
Curious how temperature senors work? Here’s how. According to Business Matters: “Temperature sensors are devices to measure temperature readings through electrical signals. Different models exist with various uses. “A few examples of industries taking advantage of temperature sensors include food processing, chemical handling, and HVAC control. The automotive sector also uses various sensors to measure…
There are many different positions where temperature measurement is performed in the automotive industry. According to AZO Materials: “In automotive testing, temperature measurement is often performed at multiple positions. Large rolls of thermocouple wire are required to perform temperature measurements in and around a plastic bumper. However, the enlarged bundled wire diameter presents some technical…
Measuring temperature correctly is vital to a number of industries. Here are some tips to improve efficiency. According to Jonathan Pearce: “KNOWLEDGE of temperature is essential for measuring and controlling almost every technological process. In recent years, substantial advances have been made in techniques to measure temperature across a wide range of disciplines applicable to…
Introduction Electronic temperature sensors come in two basic varieties: resistance devices and voltage devices. A resistance device is one in which the resistance varies with temperature. Resistance devices can be further classified as a PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) device, or an NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) device. The resistance of a PTC increases with an increase…
The hot rod red painted flames on the hood of the Jim Dunn Racing Funny Car during upcoming NHRA national events in Bristol, Tennessee and Norwalk, Ohio represent the team’s sponsor, Blaze Exhaust Probes. A key element used in drag racing to measure exhaust temperatures, Blaze Technical Services helps the Dunn’s and many other teams…
Thermocouples are transducers that convert temperature directly into voltage. They are active transducers simply made by joining two different metals. It produces a voltage when the temperature in the joint changes. Types of Thermocouples: There are many different types of thermocouples, made of different types of cables and that have very different properties. The five standard…
What is a Thermocouple? A thermocouple consists of two dissimilar metals, joined together at one end, which produce a small voltage when heated (or cooled). This voltage is measured and used to determine the temperature of the heated metals. The voltage for any one temperature is unique to the combination of metals used. Are There…
Big differences exist between different temperature sensor or temperature measurement device types. Using one perspective, they can be simply classified into two groups, contact and non-contact. The two links below take you to descriptive pages on each type with a breakdown by more specific, detailed types under that simple, first breakout. There are also vendors…
Hydroponic systems benefit greatly from gathering more information as this gives the grower the ability to better diagnose problems and better understand the evolution of their hydroponic crops. Usually growers limit the information they gather to single sensor measurements carried out either at different points during the day or even only when nutrient solutions need…
