We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Thermocouples",
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 Economy of scale cuts prices for custom sensors from
Nanmac Corp, which we summarised at the time by saying "Those who choose to custom design their temperature sensors can reduce cost by using any one of the JIT, Consignment and Kanban inventory programs now running at Nanmac".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Temperature transmitter drops in with 4-20mA loop from
Labfacility: "Easy way to retrofit 4-20mA temperature transmitters to existing Pt100 or thermocouple sensors without removing them from the process".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Cropico
- take a look at Site eases access to in-depth test information
which says: "Precision measurement specialist Cropico has upgraded its website to make the selection and purchase of its resistance and temperature measurement instruments faster and easier".
Take a look also at the news release from Omega Engineering, Thermocouples wireless transmit their readings,
as well as Transmitters suit varied applications from Baumer Group,
and I/O units integrate Scada systems from Audon Electronics.
