Thin-film resistance temperature detectors are thin film-like devices that are generally made of platinum and used for temperature measurement. This is possible because an increase in temperature is ...

Top Thermistor Manufacturers Leading The Charge In Temperature Sensing Technology. EINPresswire/ -- The global temperature sensing industry has entered a period of rapid transformation, driven by ...

I recently contributed a design for a simple platinum resistance temperature detector (PRTD) resistance two-wire 4-20mA transmitter circuit illustrated in Figure 1. Figure 1 A two-wire, 4 to 20 mA ...

Despite their prevalent use in patient treatment, to many, using lasers as surgical tools can seem like something out of science fiction. However, laser-assisted surgery is now a reality and marks a ...

Designing an analog circuit can be a frustrating experience, as noted by Nick Cornford in his Design Idea (DI), “DIY RTD for a DMM.” With a fortnight’s struggle, I completed the design of 4 mA to 20mA ...

What use is a sensor that's wrong?

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 ...

A customised thermowell has provided a solution that allows for accurate temperature measurement of molasses in a centrifuge.
