Designing an analog circuit can be a frustrating experience, as noted by Nick Cornford in his Design Idea (DI), “ DIY RTD for a DMM.” With a fortnight’s struggle, I completed the design of 4 mA to ...

Before installing the Mineral Insulated RTD sensor, it is advised to attach a thermowell, and a closed-end tube. Heat is transferred from the process to the thermowell wall and then to the sensor. In ...

The old saying “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” cautions against tampering with something that performs reliably and regularly proves its worth. Arguably, this advice applies to the circuit design ...

The final impetus for this project came from the discovery of some long-mislaid PT100 RTD sensors, which enabled something fairly precise: a box to convert the RTD’s resistance into a millivolt signal ...

Key Takeaways from the RTD Temperature Sensors Market Report: The global RTD temperature sensors industry is forecast to reach US$ 1.7 billion by 2033. Based on function, an analog segment is poised ...

where: R RTD is the measured RTD resistance. V ADC is the ADC voltage reading. I CC is a somewhat constant-current source. V Offset is the voltage offset of cumulative errors. Note that this ...

The Aerospace Instrumentation (AI) group of Curtiss-Wright’s Defense Solutions division has introduced two analog-to-digital-conversion (ADC) module variants for use with resistance temperature ...
