Thermometer Image: Courtesy FreeDigitalPhotos.net & mistermong USA — The USA’s National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) began an active mercury-reduction campaign in 2007, and stopped calibrating Mercury (Chemical symbol: Hg) thermometers entirely on March 1, 2011. A full range of thermometric calibration services continues for non-mercury devices according to the special NIST webpage at: [...]
One useful resource on RTD and Thermocouple sensors was found at Jim Pinto’s Writings section of his website, borrowed from the original article that he wrote for Instruments & Control Magazine in June 2000, at: www.jimpinto.com/writings/tempsensors.html. In the article Jim takes particular care to describe the likely errors that can occur with less-than-perfect cold junction [...]
Ensure High Accuracy in Your Critical Temperature Measurements CHESTERLAND OH, USA — To prevent inaccurate temperature measurements which can potentially cause disastrous inventory losses, CAS DataLoggers recommends using 3-wire RTDs to customers taking temperature measurements using RTD sensors. These sensors are affordable and easily available for use with our wide inventory of temperature dataloggers, but [...]
