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 ...

Before running a formal test with multiple resistance temperature detector (RTD) sensors, it is often necessary to calibrate and debug a data-acquisition system to verify basic functionality. The ...

Omega introduces its new PR-21 series of RTD sensors with M12 connector which features an all welded 316L stainless steel housing, an integral 4-pin M12 connector for easy connection, a fast response ...

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 ...

This article discusses the history and design challenges for designing a resistance temperature detector (RTD)-based temperature measurementsystem. It also covers RTD selection and configuration trade ...

Red Lion Controls has added over 50 new sensor models in various sizes and configurations to its line of rugged thermocouples and RTD temperature sensors. The sensors can be easily combined with ...

The DTG-RTD100 Series thermometer features a backlit display with 25-mm digits that can be read as far away as 10.7m The DTG-RTD100 Series thermometer features a backlit display with 25-mm digits that ...

Temperature transmitters are employed to transmit a signal from a temperature sensor, such as a RTD or thermocouple, to a control or measurement device. These temperature transmitters amplify and ...

Editor's note: I am pleased to bring you an excellent RAQ by Yao Zhao, a product application engineer with the China design center in ADI Beijing. RTD (resistance temperature detectors) can provide ...
