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 […]

Swaged tip thermocouples are thermocouples designed for specific use in which the thermal detecting element area is decreased through swaging, resulting in a quicker response from the sensor. The tough construction of the thermocouple provides protection for the sensor from the effects of vibrations, extending its useful life and avoiding operation. Swaging is a forging […]

Electromagnetic flow meters (or mag meters) are a type of velocity or volumetric flow meter that operates pursuant to Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction – which states that a voltage will be induced when a conductor moves through a magnetic field. Magmeters can detect the flow rate of conductive fluids only. Early mag meter designs […]
