Cold Storage Temperature Monitoring Goes Wireless
The ways in which industrial temperature measuring systems are configured are as diverse as the seemingly endless array of applications that they are tasked to monitor. Of course, many of these must at least follow a general structure, where a temperature sensor will be connected to cabling leading to a monitoring station, and often to [...]
Temperature Monitoring and the Difference between Thermistor and RTD Sensors
The subject of temperature monitoring is not usually a hot topic in the public arena. But those who work in industries in which products and processes require strict temperature control thoroughly understand its importance. The nuclear, petrochemical and food and beverage industries are a few examples of those that depend on precision temperature measuring and [...]
Smart Sensors Becoming Even Smarter as Technologies Evolve
A vast variety of sensor types and configurations are used in many different industries to measure and monitor things such as volume, flow rates and liquid, gas and air pressures. But temperature monitoring sensors are pervasive within numerous industries whose equipment and operations depend on temperatures being kept within a stringent range to keep them [...]
Temperature Monitoring Plays an Important Role in Wastewater Treatment
Wastewater treatment plants are essential to the preservation of the environment and also to the health and safety of the public. Whether it concerns residential sewage or industrial waste, it is critical that the stability of wastewater treatment systems and the equipment used within these operations be maintained through careful process and temperature monitoring. The [...]
Smart Sensors and Remote Temperature Monitoring
The many temperature-sensitive activities and processes that take place in the petrochemical, power generation and paper manufacturing industries, to name just a few, require a high degree of accuracy and consistency in a temperature measuring device. In fields such as these, failures or irregularities in temperature sensing equipment could have catastrophic results. Smart sensors come [...]
A Thermocouple “Type” for Every Environment
The thermocouple is among the most popular and widely-used temperature sensor for industrial purposes. Though there are temperature measuring instruments available that are more accurate than thermocouples, no other device is capable of functioning under the kinds of conditions in which these sturdy, reliable sensors are asked to perform. More specifically, thermocouple temperature sensors are [...]
Temperature Sensors Essential Elements in Industrial Process Control
Industrial processes demand precision. Not only from financial and productivity standpoints, but also, in many cases, to ensure the safety of surrounding personnel. In order to facilitate the smoothest possible operation and to maximize system efficiencies, a series of sensors are often used to keep close track of processes. These include temperature sensors, flow rate [...]
Temperature Monitoring a Vital Aspect of Candy Manufacturing
One thing most people have in common is a love for the occasional sweet treat. The variety of candy and confections available to us is incalculable and ever-expanding, as manufacturers continue to produce products that satisfy the sweet tooth in just about every one of us. Creating sweets and confectionery delicacies is still seen as [...]
The Thermistor: A Universal Temperature Measuring Device
Temperature measuring, monitoring and control capabilities play a significant role in our everyday lives. Among many other functions, Temperature monitoring and controlling devices allow us to adjust our living spaces to a desired comfort level and make sure our food is thoroughly cooked. Thermistor temperature sensors can be found in our heating and air conditioning [...]
Thermistor Temperature Sensors and the Difference between NTC and PTC
The array of applications using thermistor temperature sensors is wide and diverse, as is the variety of thermistor types and configurations. These devices, used in household, commercial and industrial applications, are known for their stability and accuracy in measuring temperatures within a limited range. The term “thermistor” is derived from a combination of the words [...]
