Types of Temperature Sensors (RTD, Thermocouple, Thermistor, Semiconductor, Thermometer)
RTD or Resistance Temperature Detector
RTD or Resistance Temperature Detector is a temperature sensor whose resistance varies directly with temperature. They are basically the metal counterpart of thermistors. These precise temperature sensors are built of high-purity conducting metals like platinum, copper or nickel wound into a coil.
The RTD's electrical resistance varies as a function of temperature similar to that of a thermistor. RTDs are in many different forms, such as thin

What is a Temperature Sensor? (Contact, Non Contact, Semiconductor Types)
A temperature sensor is an electronic device used to detect and measure the temperature of its environment or any content required to be measured, whether that is solids, liquids, or gasses, and converts the input data into an electrical signal. There are many cases in your daily life and in different branches of industries where a temperature sensor is used. There are different technologies and principles to measure the temperature in various specific applications because different appl

Everything About Temperature (Units and Unit Conversion)
Temperature refers to intensive quantity and it is the way of determining the energy state of particles within an object. All materials are made of particles - atoms or molecules that are in constant motion, vibrating, or rotating. Because the particles of the object are moving, they have kinetic energy. So the temperature is defined as a measure of the average kinetic energy of its atoms and molecules. This kinetic energy is a type of energy related to motion. The faster the particles are

Flow Meter Outputs
There are numerous types of flow meter output which are discussed below.1-reed switch
Reed switch is the simplest type of pulse output. It is a magnetically operated switch in a glass capsule.
Typically Reed switches are cheaper and simpler to understand but restrained to lower frequencies.
They may be utilized in dangerous areas. The tool only changes the voltage provided to it and if the voltage is protected properly the reed switch functions perfectly.
The logging flow meter “sees” th
