Products by Application – Surface Temperature Sensors
Posted on 01-07-2024
Surface temperature sensors measure the temperature of an object's surface. They can be contact types like thermocouples, RTDs, and thermistors, or non-contact types like infrared thermometers and thermal cameras. Contact sensors need to touch the surface to measure temperature, while non-contact sensors detect infrared radiation from the surface.
These sensors are used in many fields, such as manufacturing to control processes, medicine for patient monitoring, and environmental science to study weather. Their ability to provide accurate temperature readings makes them essential tools in various applications.
