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 ...

When making physical measurements such as temperature, strain, or pressure, you need a sensor to convert the physical property into an electrical signal, usually voltage. Then, the signal must be ...

Temperature measurement and control is one of the most critical processes used in electronics. Found in virtually every piece of electronic equipment and in every industrial process, temperature ...

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 ...

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 ...

Temperature is one of the most widely measured parameters in a power plant. No matter the type of plant, accurate and reliable temperature measurement is essential for operational excellence.

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 ...

Consider best practices for placing, maintaining, and calibrating temperature sensors. The cold chain for bio/pharmaceutical drugs involves controlling the temperature throughout the supply chain, and ...
