CD-Rom-based design guide to temperature sensors
Peak Sensors has launched a free CD-Rom-based design guide and product catalogue covering sensors, sheaths, components, instrumentation and various services
It highlights the important decision making criteria with respect to applications that are often seen in today's industries.
The common sensing techniques are explained and discussed and once the basic merits of different techniques are understood the guide continues to show how to use the technology in a practical form.
The end point is to select the optimal datasheet, with a product drawing.
This can then be used to plan the space envelope ready for the sensor and to order the required temperature measurement solution.
This design guide helps to identify the most appropriate solutions to be adopted when using thermocouples, resistance thermometers and thermistors.
There are three main criteria to consider when selecting a design style: data requirements - the temperatures experienced and the accuracy required; economic considerations - quantity and lifetime considerations to optimise the design; and application considerations - protection of the sensor from the environment.
The full Peak Sensors design guide is available from the company's website.
