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 ...

to-20 mA output current is controlled using the PWM function of a precision analog microcontroller. This circuit provides a low cost solution to temperature monitoring because most of the circuit ...

Measuring temperature turns out to be a fundamental function for a huge number of devices. You furnace’s programmable thermostat and digital clocks are obvious examples. If you just needed to know if ...

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 ...

Wahl Instruments Inc. offers two affordable, rugged and user-friendly, pocket temperature calibrators designed specifically to simplify the maintenance and commissioning of today’s reliable and ...
