Thermocouples come in either grounded or ungrounded variants, which refer to whether the measuring point is welded to the sheath (grounded) or not (ungrounded). There are benefits, but also some tradeoffs, of using grounded vs. ungrounded thermocouples. …
This blog provides an introduction to the basic principles of temperature measurement and an overview of common instruments for measuring temperature in industrial applications today. Accurate temperature measurement is a requirement for almost all modern industrial …
Answers to questions to help explain the operation of RTD sensors and the pros and cons of negative temperature coefficient (NTC) sensors and positive temperature coefficient (PTC) sensors based on platinum, such as the Pt100 and Pt1000. Resistance temperature …
Questions and answers about why resistance temperature detectors are ideal for many refining, processing, and manufacturing applications, and what to keep in mind when choosing the RTDs that meet your specifications. Accurate temperature measurement is …
Questions and answers about how RTDs measure temperature changes by tracking the variation in electrical resistance in metal wires. The resistance values of the metal wires are known, so resistance value changes are an accurate proxy for temperature changes. A …
