When making temperature measurements, two ways have traditionally been employed to get process readings back to a monitoring and control system. One method is to utilize sensor extension wires to ...

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 ...

Both the RTD itself and its accuracy must be considered when selecting the RTD sensor. The temperature range varies with element type, and the accuracy denoted at calibration temperature (usually at ...

Although not every temperature application is a high-accuracy mea¬surement, best practices can be applied to eliminate sensor drift at the start of an installation. This helps users achieve optimal ...

Temperature is one of the most widely measured parameters in a power plant. No matter the type of plant, accurate and reliable temperature measurement is essential for operational excellence.

Micro-Measurements® rolled out its new Sensor Gage, which features a strain gage and embedded resistance temperature detector (RTD) on the same substrate. Built on Micro-Measurements’ Advanced Sensors ...

Abstract: Planar resistance temperature detector, RTD, can be manufactured with microelectronics processing techniques. However, the manufactured planar resistor requires an extra step for adjustment ...
