Temperature Measuring Instruments

Instrument No.1: Thermistor

a temperature dependent resistor. Detected change in
temperature corresponds to equivalent temperature
change.
Operational Temperature: 90 C to 130 C.

semiconductors). It produces a voltage when

the temperature of one of the spots differs
from the reference temperature at other parts
of the circuit. Thermocouples are a widely
used type of temperature sensor for
measurement and control,[1] and can also
convert a temperature gradient into electricity.
Commercial thermocouples are inexpensive,
[2] interchangeable, are supplied with
standard connectors, and can measure a wide
range of temperatures. In contrast to most
other methods of temperature measurement,
thermocouples are self powered and require
no external form of excitation. The main
limitation with thermocouples is accuracy; system errors of less than one
degree Celsius (C) can be difficult to achieve.[3]

Resistive Element Assembly
Industrial Applications:
Heat regulator for electronic circuitry
Iron (More)
How To Use:
1.) Integrate to the circuit by attaching the legs of the thermistor in the
right corresponding terminals.
Maintenance and Proper Storage:
1.) Extra careful when handling the thermistor
2.) To be stored at -20 degree celcius to 50 degree celcius
Instrument No.2: Thermocouples

A thermocouple is a temperature-measuring device consisting of two

dissimilar conductors that contact each other at one or more spots, where a
temperature differential is experienced by the different conductors (or

Instrument No.3: Bimetal Thermometer

With bimetal thermometer you have an on site

temperature measurement with a mechanical
system.The measuring element of the bimetal

thermometer is a quick reacting bimetal coil. It is

manufactured from two cold-welded metal strips with
different thermal expansion coefficients and rotates in
proportion to temperature. The scale ranges reach from -50
up to 600C
2 different Bimetal Thermometer models that differ in
temperature range detection
Components and Parts

1.) Dial shows the pressure

reading from the source
2.) The connection integrates the
stem to the Dial
3.) The Stem is the chord that is
directly connected to the
source.
Industrial Applications: The main use for these
thermometer is in HVAC applications as there are,
heating systems, solar thermal systems, storage
tanks or vessels.
How to Use:
1.) Stick the stem to the surface of the object to
measure its temperature
2.) Reading on the dial will eventually show the rated
temperature for the object you are in particular
with.
3.)
