Placement of a thermometer on an outside wall. Figure 1 from 'Traittez de barometres, thermometres, et notiometres, ou hygrometres' by Joachim d'Alence, Published in 1688. Placement of a thermometer ...

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 ...

Each body with a temperature higher than absolute zero (–273.15 °C = 0 Kelvin) releases electromagnetic radiation from the surface. This radiation is proportional to its intrinsic temperature. One ...

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 ...

This series of blogs was first published on the late, lamented forum, Microcontroller Central. I have modified it very slightly. In my opinion the best place to start whenever you discuss temperature ...

Thermocouples are far and away the most widely used type of temperature sensor because they are both rugged and relatively inexpensive. They operate based on the thermoelectric or Seebeck effect ...
