There’s an old joke about how to tell how tall a building is using a barometer. The funniest answer is to find the building owner and offer them a nice barometer in exchange for the information. We ...

Temperature is one of the most common environmental metrics that is measured in electronic systems, and numerous sensor types are available to meet the various application requirements of embedded ...

Temperature-independent measurement strengthens natural gas analysis by reducing error and enabling reliable detection of key ...

Starting with the sensor, measuring and controlling temperature is an essential building block of process industries. Automatic control in continuous processes uses industrial control systems to ...

Temperature is the most widely measured variable in the process industries, and it is often a critical factor in industrial processing. If a temperature measurement is not accurate or reliable, it can ...

As processor speeds increase and draw more power, thermal management becomes an increasingly important issue within all devices where microcontrollers are used. As thermal management becomes more ...

Temperature is one of the most widely measured parameters in a power plant. No matter the type of plant, accurate and reliable temperature measurement is essential for operational excellence.

After careful consideration, the latest digital temperature-measurement system from Linear Technology Corp. (LTC), the LTC2986/LTC2986-1 (see figure), stood out as the best in analog for 2016. The ...

The measurement of temperature in high-temperature environments remains a central challenge across many scientific and industrial domains, from aerospace engine monitoring to materials processing.

With system efficiencies continually improving and environmental requirements becoming more stringent, subcooling and superheat measurements have become more and more important. They are the truest ...

In the 1950s, temperature-equalizing columns were commonly used in steam drum differential pressure–based devices for measuring water level. However, these columns are problematic because a portion of ...

When testing cells, temperature can influence many of the cell properties. Therefore, when connecting a cell to a piece of cell test equipment, along with connecting voltage sense leads and ...
