Bayonet RTD Bayonet RTDs, Thermistors and Thermocouple temperature sensors are commonly used in extruder and plastic processing industries. These sensors provide accurate temperature control for the best plasticizing combination of plastic material, mold and design. Bayonet RTD temperature sensors are available in 6 configurations; Adjustable Immersion Bayonet on Flex Armor Bayonet on Flex Armor with…
read moreRTD Sensor Accuracy and Tolerance Standards The industry standard for platinum RTD’s according to IEC-751 is + /- 0.12% (of resistance) at 0°C, commonly referred to as Class B accuracy. This will provide an accuracy of + /- 0.3°C at 0°C, which is quite good if you compare it to the + /- 2.2°C…
read moreWhat is Temperature? In a qualitative manner, we can describe the temperature of an object as that which determines the sensation of warmth or coldness felt from contact with it. It is easy to demonstrate that when two objects of the same material are placed together (physicists say when they are put in thermal contact),…

read more Selecting The Right Sensor: Imagine that you are an Instrumentation Engineer. You are looking at the prints for a new plant, and you see the many locations marked out for temperature transducers. You ask yourself; What has been specified to fill each space? RTD for their high accuracy and linearity? Or thermocouples because of their…

Measure Exhast Gas Temperature (EGT) Exhaust gas temperature is a measure of heat in the cylinder during combustion, and is most commonly measured close to the head. Since all metals melt, deform, or undergo transformation under excessive temperatures for that particular metal, it is easy to have too high of EGT and cause damage to…
