Tips: All you wanted to know about temperature measurement
-- Control Engineering, 2/11/2008
Santa Clara, CA — Agilent Technologies is offering a series of measurement tips designed to share practical tips and hints based on real applications and test scenarios. Called "Measurement Tips," the series is intended to help engineers get the most out of their test and measurement instruments. Control Engineering provides additional help, below.
The first measurement briefs focus on making temperature measurements, including:-Making Good Thermocouple Measurements in Noisy Environments;
-Practical Hints for Making Fast Scans of Multiple-Sensor Systems; and
-How to Select the Correct Temperature Sensor for your Application.
Past tips from Control Engineering on temperature measurement include:
-Contact sensors may offer a price advantage, non-contact sensors are more durable because they are not subject to contact wear and could have a lower life-cycle cost.
-Sensors have shrunk, analysis hardware and software continue to improve, and prices for comparable performance have dropped.
-For monitoring processes in real time, mounted sensors provide stability and consistency than handheld options.
