The old saying “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” cautions against tampering with something that performs reliably and regularly proves its worth. Arguably, this advice applies to the circuit design ...

The Endress+Hauser iTHERM TrustSens hygienic RTD self-calibrates to verify in-line that the sensor is working as designed Endress+Hauser’s iTHERM TrustSens hygienic resistance temperature detector ...

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 ...

Traditionally, resistance-temperature-detector (RTD) sensor resistance is measured by applying a precision current source and measuring the developed voltage. This approach usually requires a ...

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 ...

RTDs (resistance-temperature detectors) are the preferred sensor choices for designs requiring precision. Although RTDs are approximately linear over the limited temperature range of 0 to 100°C, these ...

Omega’s new RTDM12 series of compact RTD temperature sensors are extremely rugged with a molded (IP67) 4-pin connector with M12 male thread and a fast response time. Omega’s new RTDM12 series of ...

Adafruit has today announced the availability of a new PT1000 RTD Temperature Sensor Amplifier MAX31865, which is now available to purchase directly from the online Adafruit electronics store priced ...
