What is probe assembly?

Probe & Probe Assemblies When a pre-designed assembly of temperature probe, mounting fitting and connection head is required, along with optional thermowells, unions, nipples and transmitters, Minco has a wide variety of assemblies available including assemblies certified for use in hazardous areas.

What is sensor surface?

Surface Sensors – Ideal for measuring the moisture content, mass, density or foregn particles of bulk solids and sheet like materials such as food products like cheese, paper, veneer, foil, tarmac and more.

How do thermistor sensors work?

Thermistors change resistance with temperature changes; they are temperature-dependent resistors. They’re perfectly suited to scenarios where one specific temperature needs to be maintained, they’re sensitive to small changes in temperature. They can measure liquid, gas, or solids, depending on the type of thermistor.

What are RTD sensors?

What are RTD temperature sensors? RTDs – or Resistance Temperature Detectors – are temperature sensors that contain a resistor that changes resistance value as its temperature changes. The most popular RTD is the Pt100.

What is a NTC thermistor?

An NTC thermistor is a temperature sensor that uses the resistance properties of ceramic/metal composites to measure the temperature. Our full spectrum NTC sensors offer many advantages in temperature sensing including miniature size, excellent long-term stability, high accuracy and precision.

What is thermistor probe?

NTC thermistor probes measure liquid levels and temperature in industries that extend from automotive electronics to medical technology to green energy. Their applications are endless, and their purpose ensures the operability of the applications they serve.

What is accelerometer sensor?

An accelerometer sensor is a tool that measures the acceleration of any body or object in its instantaneous rest frame. It is not a coordinate acceleration. Accelerometer sensors are used in many ways, such as in many electronic devices, smartphones, and wearable devices, etc.

How does a thermistor read temperature?

How does the thermistor “read” temperature? A thermistor does not actually “read” anything, instead the resistance of a thermistor changes with temperature. How much the resistance changes depends on the type of material used in the thermistor.

What is a RTD vs thermocouple?

An RTD utilizes the change in resistance of the metal to predict the change in temperature. While thermocouple is a thermoelectric sensor that uses the change in voltage/ emf to get the change in the temperature. RTD generally operates in the range between -200 to 600° C.

Can you repair a thermocouple?

Thermocouples are designed to detect a pilot light’s loss of heat and close the gas valve to prevent a gas leak. Replacing a thermocouple is a relatively easy fix that can take less than two hours.

How do NTC sensors work?

NTC Sensors are a semiconductor ceramic made with various metal oxides. Their electrical resistance decreases with increasing temperature. This resistance is processed by an electronic circuit to provide temperature measurement.

What does NTC sensor stand for?

Negative Temperature Coefficient Thermistor
A Negative Temperature Coefficient Thermistor (or NTC Thermistor) is the most common type of thermistor. They are one of many numerous types of highly sensitive temperature sensor and are often small in size. A negative temperature coefficient thermistor alters its resistance characteristics with temperature.
