As with their other resistor-based temperature-sensing components, the RTD looks simple to use. After all, it is a two-terminal resistor with no parasitics of consequence in the relatively slow-moving ...

The many available options for temperature-sensing transducers. The unique challenges and benefits of using thermocouples for temperature measurement. How a new IC greatly simplifies utilizing ...

Abstract: Temperature measurement is a key factor in the safe and reliable operation of nuclear reactors. Thermocouples and resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) are among the most common and ...

A thermal connector, sometimes called a cold-end termination, is designed to connect temperature sensors to measuring instruments, like thermocouples or resistance temperature detectors (RTDs).

ODVA announced Nov. 12 that new process device profiles for temperature sensors are now available as a part of its EtherNet/IP specification. These profiles help system integrators and end users ...

Abstract: Intrusive temperature sensors such as thermocouples and resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) have become industry standards for simple and cost-effective temperature measurement. However, ...

The new iTEMP TMT86 two-channel temperature head transmitter (photo) has Profinet communication over Ethernet Advanced Physical Layer (APL). The two-channel temperature head transmitter is suitable ...

Editor’s note: This column is moderated by Béla Lipták, who is also the editor of the Instrument and Automation Engineers’ Handbook (5th edition). If you have a question concerning measurement, ...

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 ...

AutomationDirect has added two new frequency signal conditioners. The new SCU-2200 universal analog-to-frequency converters from ProSense accept milliamp, voltage, RTD, thermocouple or potentiometer ...
