Principles of Resistance Thermometry White Paper


Principles of Resistance Thermometry White Paper

Learn the principles and applications of RTDs and thermistors.

Minneapolis, Minn., September 28, 2009-Minco, a designer and manufacturer of critical components for critical applications, is offering a free downloadable white paper titled Resistance Thermometry: Principles and Applications of Resistance Thermometers and Thermistors. If you are a design engineer who is wants to learn more about the consistency, accuracy and stability of these temperature sensors, this white paper is for you.

This paper shows you how to calibrate temperature-reading instruments by performing calculations regarding resistance and temperature characteristics. Learn what factors can influence the temperature/resistance ratio such as element types, leadwire resistance, electrical noise, vibration, self-heating, and exposure to temperatures at or beyond the endpoint of a specified range.

A perfect complement to this white paper is the 163-page Sensors & Instruments Solutions Guide; a free guide that will show you how to define your temperature sensing requirements and choose the best sensor. This handy, easy-to-use guide will also help you determine what sensing technology is best, show you how to compare sensor alternatives and help you obtain parts for testing and prototyping sensors. In addition to the Guide, a Non-Invasive Sensors Design Kit is also available.

If you need technical assistance, help with specifications, operating conditions, or application data; a Minco engineer is just a click away in the Minco Engineer2Engineer Community. You can also phone 763-571-3121 for more information.
