Metal thermocouples are a great alternative for temperature detection in molten metal applications. Thermocouples are semiconductor materials that are used to monitor temperature by measuring the voltage across two different types of material when the temperatures of the two materials differ. Thermocouple types are chosen based on the type of metal being measured, and they […]

Understanding the types of sensors, their application, the environment where they operate, and the parameters they measure are key elements of effective temperature measurement Choosing the best industrial temperature sensor is no easy task. It is a highly sensitive sort of application that necessitates not just experience and knowledge of thermal dynamics, but also of […]

Non-contact Temperature Measurements Temperature is a critical factor in many processes and must often be measured accurately. Non-contact infrared measurement is often the better alternative for this as compared to physical thermocouple measurements. Temperature measurement without this method can no longer be imagined for machine maintenance, process control and quality control. Stationary IR sensors are […]

In the world of infrared temperature sensors, there are two types of ratio pyrometers: Two-Color and Dual-Wavelength. Both use a ratio of energy measured at two wavelengths to create a temperature reading. This method of measurement allows ratio sensors to automatically compensate for emissivity variation (for ‘greybody’ materials), partially filled fields of view, and dirty […]

A Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) is a temperature sensing device that consists of a wire coil or deposited film of pure metal. The element’s resistance increases with temperature in a known and repeatable manner, making them a reliable tool for measuring temperature within manufacturing applications. However, there are several factors that can affect the accuracy […]
