The Program for The Eighth International Temperature Symposium

The Eighth International Temperature Symposium is being held October 20 to 24, 2002 at The McCormick Center in Chicago, Illinois, USA. The ISA is holding a major Meeting and Exhibition simultaneously and provides registration for the Symposium. Contact ISA for Housing, locations, transportation and registration infromation.

This once-per-decade event is a meeting of world experts, specialists, manufacturers and those seriously interested in almost every aspect of temperature measurement in science and industry throughout the world. The previous meetings are documented in hard bound volumes (TMISI) and can be found in most science and engineering libraries around the world. They form one of the most comprehensive and concise modern records of the history of advancement in the field of temperature standards, calibration, devices and uses available. This year promises even more information with more than 200 papers in the program.

A listing of paper titles and authors is at the end of this page. The entire program schedule and papers with abstracts and author affiliations are on the NIST web site.

Castle Rock RadioProbe System (UK)
Wireless Temperature Monitoring The RadioProbe System monitors and records temperature from any location without any wires using radio communication. Temperatures are transmitted to a standard PC where they are displayed and stored for later viewing and analysis. No installation work is required; the temperature probes is simply placed in position and software install onto a companion PC.

Philadelphia Instruments and Controls, Inc. (Philadelphia, PA, USA)
Specializes in the production of temperature related products, such as liquid-in-glass thermometers-specialty ones include units for candy making as well as ASTM thermometers, copper and brass-cased thermometers, pocket thermometers and thermostat controller for incubators and more.

Bimetallic Thermometer Vendors Page

DAS/DAQ Page

Industrial Control Electronics Ltd., (U.K).
Thermometer Plus consists of a Calibration Adapter and Thermometer Plus Software. The system provides a low cost, simple to use method of reading signals derived from external sensors into a personal computer via the games input port. The system is simple because there is no need to fit components inside the computer case, the adapter simply plugs into the games port. The adapter is designed to condition the signals from various sensors to present them in a uniform calibrated manner for the computer to read. The system is compatible with ntc thermistor temperature sensors, light dependant resistors and I.C.E. Ltd are developing a range of active sensors such as barometric pressure and relative humidity, to be directly compatible with the calibration adapter.

Thermal Imager Vendors Page

AVIO Thermal Video System(Japan)
Produced by Nippon Avionics Co., Ltd., there are several thermal imaging products. Most noted are the Neo Thermo TVS 700 a handheld uncooled microbolometer LW camera with temperature measurement capability, sold in the USA by Indigo Systems and The Super FineThermo TVS 8500 , a high performance MW system (MTR of 0.025°C, or better) for scientific applications that has a real time recording function up to 120 fps and optical options to expand measurement capability. Unit distributed in the USA by CMC Electronics.

We expect to be able to fully present , a new look, feel and more interactive web site for About Temperature Sensors by the end of October. We shall continue the existing format in parallel.

COMMENTS and MORE SITE RANKINGS

Notice to PR and Ad staffs in equipment and service companies:

Send us your new product, new staff, and related news releases, please and we'll get them into our queue for release on the site and/or this newsletter.

Listed below are the Alexa Web site rankings at the end of September and the preceeding two months. The rose color indicates that a site became less popular during the month, the green or aqua indicates more popular. The numbers provide a quantitative measure of the site popularity according to the Alexa ranking system. It is interesting to note that the dominant color is now green; perhaps web usage continues to be up! Most of the societies that we list continue to show increased popularity with the notable exceptions of the IEEE ( a three month decline) ISA (a two month decline) and ASNT. Again, some of the vendor ratings had significant changes in the last month. with Land Instruments taking a huge jump for the second month in a row and Raytek sliding backwards for the second month. JMS-SouthEast made a large increase again and pushed Pyromation to the bottom of this list as it showed a drop of nearly the same size. Remember, there are rankings for site out to about number 23 million!

We believe companies can improve their visitor rate, sales and marketing operations, sales communications and generate more orders through proper focus on their Web resources. The Internet, especially the Web, is a revolutionary new marketing and business tool. We are redesigning our site to demonstrate just what is possible in the Web even for a small company.

Note from the above Alexa ratings that our web site consistently acheives a lower ranking (meaning it is more popular) than nearly all the vendors of temperature sensors, with the major exceptions of GlobalSpec and Omega Engineering.

Thanks for visiting.

E-2, Improving Industrial Thermocouple Temperature Measurement
William Schuh and Nathan Frost
Watlow Electric Manufacturing Company, Richmond, Illinois, USA

Traditional industrial temperature measurement at high temperature entails the use of letter designated thermocouples coupled to digital instruments. A known
problem with the standard letter designated thermoelements is material related. Manufacturing resources are consumed to minimize the uncertainty and instability of thermocouples in high temperature applications. These measurements can be vastly improved by a twofold approach that uses electronics to improve the available material properties of the thermometers. One half of the approach is to incorporate smart technology into the sensor and instrument system. By converting to smart technology the material constraints can be relaxed and more robust thermocouples can be produced. The paper will describe limits put on the MI cable manufacturing process by the material constraints and describe a system and present the results of testing to show the degree of improvement that is available.
