Temperature is the most widely measured variable in the process industries, and it is often a critical factor in industrial processing. If a temperature measurement is not accurate or reliable, it can ...

Starting with the sensor, measuring and controlling temperature is an essential building block of process industries. Automatic control in continuous processes uses industrial control systems to ...

As processor speeds increase and draw more power, thermal management becomes an increasingly important issue within all devices where microcontrollers are used. As thermal management becomes more ...

Supermarket operators face unique food-safety challenges that are in some ways even more complicated than those faced by traditional restaurants. As retailers increasingly adopt a “grocerant” model ...

Temperature is one of the most widely measured parameters in a power plant. No matter the type of plant, accurate and reliable temperature measurement is essential for operational excellence.

Most electronic engineers know that a transistor’s base-emitter voltage (V BE) has a temperature coefficient (TC) of about -2 mV/°C. However, for precision temperature sensors, “about” isn’t good ...

You sometimes need to measure the differential temperature between two points in a system to a greater accuracy than that required in measuring the absolute temperature at either of the individual ...

Accurately estimating the junction temperature of a semiconductor device is essential for ensuring its reliability, performance, and longevity. Junction temperature has a direct influence on the ...

In the 1950s, temperature-equalizing columns were commonly used in steam drum differential pressure–based devices for measuring water level. However, these columns are problematic because a portion of ...
