Are Thermistor Sensors Accurate for Temperature Measurement?
Temperature measurement is important in a variety of industries, making it essential to be sure that you are using accurate equipment. When you are choosing a tool for temperature measurement, how do you know the right tool for your application? The best thing that you can do is talk to an experienced manufacturer to identify the right materials and design features to match your needs.
Here at Kelvin Technologies, we have experience with a variety of temperature sensors, including thermistor sensors. Here is some information to help you make the decision, so that you can determine if thermistors are right for you:
High Accuracy vs. Broad Measurement Range
Accuracy is always important for temperature measurement, but there are some situations where a broad measurement range is more important than the accuracy of the readings. If a general measurement is needed for a broad spectrum of temperatures, then a thermistor might not be the right solution. We have other tools that are better suited for broad measurement.
On the other hand, thermistor sensors are known for their high accuracy. Even though the range isn’t as large as other temperature sensors, the improved accuracy can be a benefit in some situations.
Why is Temperature Measurement Important?
There are a variety of reasons why you might need to measure temperature. It is essential to evaluate your individual requirements to determine the products that match your needs. Temperature can have an effect on other measurements, and it also influences the safety and efficiency of the machine.
Many people don’t realize how common temperature measurement is in technology and equipment all around us. When you drive your car, temperature measurement is needed to detect when the engine is overheating. Coolant can be used to keep the engine in safe temperature zones, but it would be difficult to know how much coolant is needed if the temperature isn’t measured.
Other examples of temperature measurement include the refrigerator, dishwasher, and your computer. If the appliances get too hot, then safety features can kick in to cool down the machine. For example, have you ever noticed that your computer fan kicks on when the machine is getting warm?
Thermistor sensors and other similar tools are often used in the medical industry, manufacturing, technology, and a variety of applications. These tools can be catered to fit in specific appliances or machines, allowing you to customize the way the tools are installed.
