TYPES OF TEMPERATURE SENSORS AND THEIR DIFFERENCES You are probably currently gathering information about temperature sensors for your machinery. You may know what their function is, but you are still not clear about what types of temperature sensors exist. Knowing the types of temperature sensors will help you know which one is best.
WHAT IS A PT100 PROBE? The PT100 is a temperature sensor that has a resistance of 100 ohms at 0°C and whose electrical resistance increases with temperature. This PT100 sensor is the temperature-sensitive core of any resistance thermometer. Aside from its mounting method, its characteristics are what make it unique.
WHAT IS A THERMOCOUPLE? Thermocouples consist of two metal wires of different materials, joined at one end. This junction is the measuring point (hot junction). The other end is called the cold junction. Heating the measuring junction causes an electrical voltage, approximately proportional to the temperature. (Effect
HOW A THERMOCOUPLE WORKS The use of these temperature sensors is evaluated based on the application and temperature range. The thermocouple is an extremely simple and reliable sensor made up of two different metallic materials joined by two junctions called the "cold junction" and the "hot junction." The temperature range
What is a pressure transducer? Pressure measurement is an important element in hydraulic/pneumatic applications in control processes in all types of applications (industry, agriculture, etc.) to guarantee safe operation and optimal performance. Apart from numerous factors such as accuracy, selection of the appropriate pressure range
When we assemble a Proportional Power Control unit, energy savings are considerable since by working the voltage as a function of the analog signal (4–20 mA, 0-5/10Vdc) only the necessary power transmission is produced according to to the demand of the process. With these control systems we avoid spikes
Can we save energy with temperature controllers? Keeping your equipment up-to-date (temperature controllers, power control systems, and sensors) allows for proper process control, leading to savings in both production time and energy. SRC has detected significant deviations in technical inspections of its clients.
When temperature measurement and control instruments are used, they are not installed directly in the industrial process. The sensors are installed in Thermowells for temperature sensors, which isolates them from the stresses of the process. Flow, high pressures and corrosive chemical effects can damage our probes, so they are protected
The widespread use of the temperature probe for the thermal regulation of different industrial processes has made this instrument an indispensable element for a large number of industries. However, it is easy to find doubts and confusion around the concept of a temperature probe and its most common uses. Therefore, in the
How to keep temperature sensors for aluminum casting in optimal condition? Sensor maintenance in aluminum casting is a key task to maintain proper performance. Temperature is one of the key variables in an aluminum casting process. Monitoring and maintaining control is essential.
Do you want to know what a PLC is? You have come to the right blog, because here we will explain everything you need to know to understand what a programmable logic controller (Programmable Logic Controller – PLC) is. A PLC is a "brain" that activates the components of the machinery so that they develop potentially dangerous activities for people, very slow or imperfect. It is important
