Temperature Sensor Types
Big differences exist between different temperature sensor or temperature measurement device types. Using one perspective, they can be simply classified
Working Principle of Temperature Sensor and Its Application
Thermocouples, Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs), Thermistors, Infrared, and Semiconductor Sensors. What is a Temperature Sensor? Usually, a temperature sensor is
How RTD works
How RTD works A resistance temperature detector(RTD) is a temperature measuring device made of materials such as platinum whose resistance
Thermocouples
The Seebeck effect is fairly linear; that is, the voltage produced by a heated junction of two wires is directly
Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs)
What are RTDs? Resistance Temperature Detectors or RTDs for short, are wire wound and thin film devices that measure temperature
Thermocouples (TCs)
Thermocouples are among the easiest temperature sensors to use and obtain and are widely used in science and industry. They
SENSORS
How Thermocouple works A thermocouple is a temperature measuring device which is formed when two dissimilar metals are joined together.
Sensors and Actuators
A resistance temperature detector(RTD) is a temperature measuring device made of materials such as platinum whose resistance change is known
Thermocouple Laws
A German physician turned physicist named Thomas Johann Seebeck took two different metals, with one at a higher temperature than
Advantages and Disadvantages of Using Thermocouples
Thermocouples provide measurement over a large temperature range–from 200 to 2600 degrees Celsius. This allows thermocouples to be used in
