4 Keys to Choosing Temperature Sensors for Your Application
1. Sensor Type
The type of temperature sensor or probe you select depends on the precision and range required for your application. Common types include RTDs, thermocouples, thermistors and digital. Thermocouples are ideal for high temperatures, while RTDs offer better accuracy in more stable environments. Thermistors are perfect for precise low-temperature measurements and temperature-sensitive equipment.
2. Temperature Range
Different sensors are designed for different temperature ranges.
Some thermistors can measure a range from -50.0°C to 70.0°C with an accuracy of +/-0.5°C from -50.0°C to 20.0°C. Others can measure from -200°C to 600°C with Class B accuracy.
Thermocouples cover a broader range, extending from -185.0°C to 1,093.0°C, with accuracy varying from +/- 1.0°C in low-range measurements to +/- 2.11°C in high-range measurements.
Digital temperature sensors cover ranges from -55 °C to + 125°C with an accuracy of +/-0.5 °C.
3. Response Time
Response time determines how quickly a temperature sensor reacts to temperature changes. Sensors for dynamic environments, such as refrigeration systems, require faster response times, while slower responses are acceptable for more stable, controlled settings.
4. Environmental Conditions
Consider the environment in which the temperature sensor will operate. Factors like humidity, chemical exposure and extreme temperatures can affect sensor performance. Ensure the sensor is rated for your environment’s conditions to avoid failure.
