Traditionally, resistance-temperature-detector (RTD) sensor resistance is measured by applying a precision current source and measuring the developed voltage. This approach usually requires a ...

Process instruments consist of two main components: a sensor and a transmitter. The sensor is sometimes part of the instrument assembly, as with some pressure instruments, but is more often separate, ...

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 ...

Calibration is a crucial step in the manufacturing process of many sensors (or transmitters) such as pressure, temperature and position sensors. One key component needed for calibration is the ...

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 ...

Temperature Sensor solutions are used to measure temperature and have a wide range of uses in industrial, commercial applications. Temperature measurements are made using RTD (Resistance Temperature ...
