Temperature Measurement, Instrumentation and Control - TEL-TRU

Bimetal thermometers are widely used temperature measurement devices that employ a bimetallic strip to indicate temperature changes. These thermometers consist of two metal strips, typically made of different metals with different coefficients of thermal expansion, bonded together. The metals expand or contract at different rates as the temperature changes, causing the bimetallic strip to bend. This bending motion is then translated into a rotational movement displayed on a calibrated dial to indicate the temperature. Bimetal thermometers are known for their simplicity, durability, and cost-effectiveness. They are commonly used in various industries and applications requiring reliable temperature monitoring, such as HVAC systems, automotive, food processing, and industrial processes. Bimetal thermometers offer advantages such as wide temperature ranges, resistance to shock and vibration, and ease of installation. They are available in different sizes and configurations to suit specific application requirements. With their robust construction and accurate temperature indication, bimetal thermometers provide a reliable and cost-effective temperature measurement solution in various industrial and commercial settings.

Industrial thermometers are specialized devices used to measure temperature in various industrial applications. These thermometers are designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions and provide accurate temperature readings in industrial settings. They are constructed with durable materials, such as stainless steel or ruggedized plastic, to withstand high temperatures, pressure, and vibrations. Industrial thermometers come in various types, including bimetallic thermometers, gas-actuated thermometers, infrared thermometers, and digital thermometers. They are used in industries such as manufacturing, oil and gas, HVAC, and food processing, where precise temperature control is critical for operational efficiency and safety. Industrial thermometers offer features such as wide temperature ranges, high accuracy, and corrosion resistance. They are often equipped with protective features like IP ratings or explosion-proof enclosures to ensure safe and reliable operation in hazardous environments. With their ability to provide reliable temperature measurements, industrial thermometers are crucial in process control, quality assurance, and monitoring critical temperature parameters in various industrial applications.

Thermocouples and RTDs (Resistance Temperature Detectors) are types of temperature sensors widely used for temperature measurement in industrial processes, HVAC systems, or scientific research. Thermocouples consist of two dissimilar metal wires, generating a voltage proportional to the temperature difference between the sensing junction and the reference junction. RTDs, on the other hand, are temperature sensors with a defined resistance that changes with temperature. Thermocouples and RTDs offer accuracy, reliability, and compatibility with different temperature ranges and environmental conditions, providing precise temperature measurement in diverse applications.

Temperature sensors are used to measure and monitor temperature levels in various applications. Temperature sensors detect and convert temperature changes into electrical signals, which are then used for temperature control, monitoring, and data logging purposes.
