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 ...
When making temperature measurements, two ways have traditionally been employed to get process readings back to a monitoring and control system. One method is to utilize sensor extension wires to ...
Temperature measurement and control is one of the most critical processes used in electronics. Found in virtually every piece of electronic equipment and in every industrial process, temperature ...
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 ...
Whether measuring or controlling temperature, it begins with the sensor. Better sensors make better process measurements. This feature originally appeared in the May 2022 issue of InTech Focus ...
Before running a formal test with multiple resistance temperature detector (RTD) sensors, it is often necessary to calibrate and debug a data-acquisition system to verify basic functionality. The ...
Both the RTD itself and its accuracy must be considered when selecting the RTD sensor. The temperature range varies with element type, and the accuracy denoted at calibration temperature (usually at ...
MPFA000024 is a head-type RTD sensor from Multicomp Pro that’s designed for Class A accurate measurements across a -50 °C to 250 °C temperature range. This sensor runs at 100 ohms, and is reported to ...
