As the importance of the technology increase for industry day by day, it is important for any product to be qualified and developed in our daily competition situations and customer requirements. That requires a strict control in industrial environment.

Temperature is the most important variable for almost all production areas. According to this, temperature sensors are very important to reach a good measurement and to use it to control industrial work cycle.

Nowadays, to most common temperature sensors are thermocouples and resistance thermometers.

Simply, thermocouples convert the temperature to voltages. They are used in a wide temperature range (-270, +850). They are cheaper than thermocouples.

Resistance thermometers also use elements that are sensible for temperature. However, they are used to measure a smaller range than thermocouples do (-200, +850). They have much sensitivity and accuracy. Because of its durability for temperature, they are made by platin. They have a variety of PT25, PT100 and PT100.
