2. Resistance thermometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistance_thermometer

   Resistance thermometers, also called resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), are sensors used to measure temperature. Many RTD elements consist of a length of fine wire wrapped around a heat-resistant ceramic or glass core but other constructions are also used. The RTD wire is a pure material, typically platinum (Pt), nickel (Ni), or copper ...

3. List of temperature sensors - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_temperature_sensors

   The integrated circuit sensor may come in a variety of interfaces — analogue or digital; for digital, these could be Serial Peripheral Interface, SMBus/I 2 C or 1-Wire.. In OpenBSD, many of the I 2 C temperature sensors from the below list have been supported and are accessible through the generalised hardware sensors framework [3] since OpenBSD 3.9 (2006), [4] [5]: §6.1 which has also ...

4. Temperature measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature_measurement

   Resistance temperature detector (RTD) Pyrometer; Langmuir probes (for electron temperature of a plasma) Infrared thermometer; Other thermometers; One must be careful when measuring temperature to ensure that the measuring instrument (thermometer, thermocouple, etc.) is really the same temperature as the material that is being measured.

5. Thermocouple - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermocouple

   A thermocouple, also known as a "thermoelectrical thermometer", is an electrical device consisting of two dissimilar electrical conductors forming an electrical junction.A thermocouple produces a temperature-dependent voltage as a result of the Seebeck effect, and this voltage can be interpreted to measure temperature.

6. Heat detector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_detector

   One thermocouple monitors heat transferred by convection or radiation, while the other responds to ambient temperature. The detector responds when the first sensing element's temperature increases relative to the other. Rate of rise detectors may not respond to low energy release rates of slowly developing fires.

7. Thermistor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermistor

   For measurement of temperature profile inside the sealed cavity of a convective (thermal) inertial sensor. [26] Thermistor Probe Assemblies [27] offer protection of the sensor in harsh environments. The thermistor sensing element can be packaged into a variety of enclosures for use in industries such as HVAC/R, Building Automation, Pool/Spa ...
