Temperature sensors, often also called temperature probes, are measuring instruments that detect the temperature of a medium or an environment and convert it into a processable electrical signal.
The functional principle is based on the properties of certain materials. The change in resistance or voltage is measured and converted into an electrical signal.
These changes can then be converted into temperature values. Depending on the temperature range to be measured and the application, different measuring elements are used in temperature sensors.
Common measuring elements that we have in our portfolio are:
- Pt100/Pt1000
- Type K or type J thermocouples
- Thermistors
