We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Temperature Sensing",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Temperature sensors keep working for 28 years from
Lios Technology, which we summarised at the time by saying "Lios Technology's current DTS product series was designed to provide reliable performance and smooth operation in industrial environments".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release GBP 60,000 temperature sensing order placed from
ABB Automation Tech (Instrumentation + Automation): "ABB engineered its products to fit the applications by supplying the standard transmitters with nonstandard mountings".
In June 2007, we covered the news from Measurement Specialties
concerning its Ni1000SOT temperature sensor
- take a look at Temperature sensor suits automotive applications
which says: "Measurement Specialties' Ni1000SOT nickel thin-film resistance temperature detector (RTD) is suitable for use in contact temperature sensing".
Take a look also at the news release from Labfacility, Acquisition expands temperature sensing options,
as well as LumaSense enters the trace-gas sensing market from LumaSense Technologies,
and A useful guide to temperature technology selection from ABB Automation Technologies.
