Temperature Sensor

Product #GTC-WF11
Categories:
Metering and Instrumentation

Description

A Temperature Sensor is a device used to detect and measure temperature in a system, environment, or equipment. It converts thermal energy into readable signals (analog or digital) that can be interpreted by controllers, meters, or monitoring systems. Temperature sensors are widely used in industrial automation, HVAC, process control, medical equipment, and electronics.

Specifications

  • Measurement Range varies by type:

    • RTD (Pt100): typically -200°C to +500°C

    • Thermocouple (Type K): -200°C to +1250°C

    • Thermistor: -50°C to +150°C

  • Accuracy:

    • RTD: High accuracy, typically ±0.1°C to ±0.5°C

    • Thermocouple: Moderate accuracy, ±1°C to ±2°C

    • Thermistor: High sensitivity, accuracy depends on calibration

  • Response Time:

    • Fast (1–10 seconds), depending on probe size and application

  • Output Signal:

    • Analog resistance (RTD or Thermistor)

    • Millivolt signal (Thermocouple)

    • Digital output (for sensors with built-in transmitters)

  • Sensor Material:

    • Stainless steel probe housing for industrial use

    • Plastic or epoxy for general purpose or indoor use
