How can you get digital temperature data?

October 30, 2018 By Randy Frank

At Sensors Expo 2018, Mike Mays from Analog Devices explains the LTC2983, a temperature to bits IC. The IC is designed to be extremely easy to use part. Everything necessary to measure temperature is performed by the chip and its output is in direct degrees C. In the display, an “EMI (electromagnetic interference) Hairball from […]

Endress+Hauser announces self-calibrating RTD temperature sensor

November 17, 2017 By Paul Heney

Endress+Hauser has announced the iTHERM TrustSens hygienic RTD, the world’s first self-calibrating temperature sensor. TrustSens’ self-calibration process functions in situ and provides the necessary documentation to meet the conformance requirements for various regulatory agencies. Traditionally, calibration cycles for standard temperature sensors in critical service are every six to twelve months. This leaves the potential for […]

What’s the temperature of this thing?

April 27, 2017 By Randy Frank

Of course, there are many follow-up questions regarding where or when such as: on just the surface, in the center, on average, instantaneously, or steady state, to name a few. The standard temperature measurement technique that many people first encountered was the mercury (Hg) thermometer to determine if they had a 98.6° or higher temperature. […]

Measure Temperature While Meeting Hygienic Standards

December 2, 2015 By Randy Frank

Manufacturing processes in areas such as food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries need sensors for process monitoring and control. At the same time, these sensors must meet hygienic requirements from organizations such as the European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group (EHEDG) and 3-A Sanitary Standards Inc. (3-A SSI) as well as from regulatory agencies such as […]
