The old saying “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” cautions against tampering with something that performs reliably and regularly proves its worth. Arguably, this advice applies to the circuit design ...

An RTD (resistance temperature detector) is a temperature sensor that operates on the measurement principle that a material’s electrical resistance changes with temperature. The relationship between ...

The vendor’s ProSense line of process sensors now includes 0.25-inch RTD temperature probes. The three-wire, 100 ohm platinum RTD probes are made of durable 316 stainless steel and measure ...

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 ...

The Omni RTD temperature sensor is a combination of an integrated display/control unit and a highly accurate platinum RTD temperature-sensor tip. A user-programmable display interface permits setting ...

ProSense line of process sensors now includes 0.25-inch RTD temperature probes. The three-wire, 100 ohm platinum RTD probes are made of durable 316 stainless steel and measure temperatures ranging ...

Calibration labs that calibrate high-temperature probes can use the Hart Scientific Model 5624, a 10-ohm platinum resistance thermometer (PRT). The probe's sensor design makes it a suitable standard ...

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 ...

This article discusses the history and design challenges for designing a resistance temperature detector (RTD)-based temperature measurementsystem. It also covers RTD selection and configuration trade ...

Sensors can measure all manner of physical properties. Whether it's pressure, temperature, humidity, pH, conductivity, or other unknown, there's a sensor out there to measure it. But once the ...
