Temperature Transmitters

These temperature sensors are designed for precise temperature measurement. They convert the physical quantity temperature into an electrical signal and impress with their high signal stability even under extreme conditions. 

Pressure and Temperature Transmitters

Ideal for applications that require simultaneous monitoring of pressure and temperature, these pressure and temperature sensors an integrated solution that saves space and costs. 

Temperature Switches

Temperature switches are essential for overheating protection and other safety functions. They switch accordingly predefined temperature limits to prevent damage and failures. 

What is temperature measurement technology?

Temperature measurement technology is the recording and monitoring of temperature values in a wide variety of applications. This technique is crucial for regulating and controlling compliance with specific process requirements

How does temperature measurement work?

Temperature measurement is done by sensors that use the physical property of resistance to detect temperature changes and convert them into electrical signals. The conversion also compensates for nonlinearities of the sensor element, so that no further corrections need to be made in the evaluating unit to obtain precise temperature information. 

What temperature measuring devices are there and how do they work?

  • Resistance Temperature Sensors (RTD): Use the resistance of metals that changes depending on temperature to provide very accurate temperature measurements. 
  • Electric thermometers: Generate an electrical voltage in thermocouples that is directly dependent on temperature. Electrical temperature measurements can be carried out quickly and widely. 
  • Infrared sensors: Measure the infrared radiation emitted by objects in order to detect temperatures without contact. 
  • Temperature transmitters: Convert the input signal from temperature sensors such as RTDs and thermocouples into a standardized output signal suitable for precise monitoring. 
  • Temperature and pressure transmitters: Pressure and temperature measurement technology is used to transform physical measured values into electrical signals. In contrast to pure temperature transmitters, the pressure changes are also measured at the same time via a pressure transmitter converted into a separate signal, which can then be further processed. 

Which technologies are used as sensor elements?

Various technologies can be used as sensor elements. The most well-known sensor elements are NTC / PTC thermistors and thermocouples.  

  • NTC thermistors are temperature-dependent resistors whose value decreases as the temperature increases. 
  • PTC thermistors are temperature-dependent resistors whose value increases with increasing temperature. Well-known varieties are Pt100 and Pt1000. These sensors are characterized by the fact that a defined characteristic curve applies due to the materials used. 
  • Thermocouples are sensors that rely on the thermoelectric effect. To do this, two metal wires made of different materials are connected at one point. A voltage can be measured at the ends of the wires, which changes depending on the temperature. Thermocouples are specified in different types. The types refer to the metals used, e.g. type K for nickel-chromium/nickel-aluminum.
