Resisting the Heat
Resistance-Temperature Sensors, RTDs and Thermistors I was at an event recently and one of the topics was sensor basics, brilliant, right in my wheelhouse. The presenter started a section on thermo-couples by discussing the range of sensor types available and listed both RTDs (Resistance Temperature Detectors) and Thermistors (Thermal-resistors) as competing sensor types to Thermo-couples…

Thermocouple
The Thermocouple Many of the transducers we’ve looked at over the last few weeks really are not transducers in the strictest sense, they don’t change a form of energy into another. Other items we’ve looked at, tend to exploit electro-magnetism and changes in fields to produce measurable results, all interesting and fascinating in their own…
