Temperature Sensor

More Information

A temperature sensor is a device that detects and measures temperature, typically converting it into an electrical signal. These sensors are used in various applications, from thermometers to industrial processes, to monitor and control heat conditions. They can be contact or non-contact, and use various principles like resistance changes or infrared radiation to measure temperature.

Key aspects of temperature sensors:
1.Purpose: To measure the degree of hotness or coldness of an object or environment.
2.Function: Convert temperature variations into a measurable electrical signal.
3.Types: Include thermocouples, RTDs (Resistance Temperature Detectors), thermistors, and infrared sensors.
4.Applications: Widely used in various industries and everyday life, such as in refrigerators, ovens, air conditioners, and industrial processes.
