Temperature sensor : Definition, Different types of temperature sensor , Uses ,Contact temperature sensor and non contact temperature sensors
Temperature Sensor : A temperature sensor is a device that is designed to measures temperature changes in an environment or object. It detects coldness or heat of an object and then convert it into an electrical signal. The most common unit of temperature is Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin. The S.I unit is kelvin. It has the symbol K. The principle of a temperature sensor is based on the relationship between temperature and a measurable physical property. Different types of temperature sensors operate on various principles. Four types of temperature scales are Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin scales. Temperature sensors fall into two main categories, depending on the type of application used or the industry you work in. TYPES : 1. Contact temperature sensors It measure the hot or cold level of an object or substance by direct contact. They are used to detect various temperatures in different solids, liquids or gases. 2. Non-contact temperature s...
