The medical device industry requires extreme high temperatures in autoclaves to disinfect reusable devices and tools. As we have been reminded of recently with announcement of COVID-19 antibiotics, medicines as well as bio-samples require low temperatures for preservation in storage and transportation. Both of these extremes require sensors to monitor and maintain the proper temperature […]

CHT sensor for engine monitoring applications
The Sensor Connection a division of Harold G. Schaevitz Industries LLC, has expanded its line of temperature sensors with the addition of the CHT-FS series Cylinder Head Temperature CHT Sensor. Installed under the spark plug or head bolt for monitoring of engine performance and critical over-temperature conditions. The unique flexible stem design allows for installation […]
What’s the temperature of this thing?
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. […]
IC Simplifies Digital Temperature Measurements
At Sensors Expo 2016, Mike Mayes, a Design Engineering Section Leader from Linear Technology, demonstrates the capabilities of the LTC2983 temperature-to-bits converter that provides thermistor, thermocouple RTD and diode-based digital temperature measurements. For more information about the LTC2983, click here.
World’s Smallest Non-Contact Temperature Sensor
Need thermal management and/or temperature monitoring but have minimal space to mount a sensor? Exergen Global’s Micro IRt/c sensor could be the answer. At just 0.75” (19mm) long and 0.25” (6.4mm) in diameter, the infrared (IR) thermocouple fits into extremely tight spaces. The sensor provides accuracy to within ±1%, repeatability of 0.02°F (0.01°C), resolution of […]
