We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Thermocouple",
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 measurement explained from
Nanmac Corp, which we summarised at the time by saying "Free CD-ROM includes an explanation of different types of temperature measurement devices, applications for use of temperature sensors, plus an interactive resource centre".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Catalogue collates sensor components from
Labfacility: "Accessories include pot seals for mineral insulated thermocouples, bayonet caps and adapters, plugs, nipples, reducers and swaged tips".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Labfacility
concerning its ILTX
- take a look at Temperature transmitter drops in with 4-20mA loop
which says: "Easy way to retrofit 4-20mA temperature transmitters to existing Pt100 or thermocouple sensors without removing them from the process".
Take a look also at the news release from Omega Engineering, Thermocouples wireless transmit their readings,
as well as Fast-acting sensors are shaped to fit from Omega Engineering,
and Safety first for temperature transmitters from ABB Automation Tech (Instrumentation + Automation).
