Temperature Sensors
Temperature Sensors/Detectors/Transducers are electronic devices that detect thermal parameters and provide signals to the inputs of control and display devices. A temperature sensor typically relies on an RTD or thermistor to measure temperature and convert it to an output voltage. Key specifications include sensor/detector type, maximum and minimum measurable temperatures, as well as the dimensions of diameter and length. Temperature sensors are used to measure the thermal characteristics of gases, liquids, and solids in many process industries and are configured for both general- and special-purpose uses.
