What is a PT100 probe?

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 and how does it work?

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 is a good measurement made with thermocouples?

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

Do we save energy with proportional power control?

¿Ahorramos energía con un control de potencia proporcional? Cuando montamos un equipo de Control de potencia proporcional , el ahorro de energía es considerable ya que al trabajar el voltaje en función de la señal analógica ( 4–20 mA, 0-5/10Vdc)  se produce solamente la transmisión de potencia necesaria de acuerdo a la demanda del proceso.

Are temperature regulators a way to control energy savings?

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.
