Featured New Products- for a second month in a row!

Two-Dimensional Thermal Data Viewer from Two-Dimensional Instruments -2DI

The Thermal Data Viewer is a compact battery or ac-powered two-channel temperature recorder that graphically displays analog or digital sensor readings (thermistor or thermocouple)and trends along with the current temperature(s). Temperature is sampled at user-defined intervals, stored in onboard memory, and instantly displayed on the LCD as a line or bar graph. One can change the displayed time period and temperature range with a push of a button to zoom into an area of interest. Scrolling through past temperatures, one can see the thermal trend, the times at which events occurred and their effects. Data can also be downloaded to a computer for analysis and archival purposes.

NEW Links of Interest - October 2001

Check out these new and interesting links from our Links Page

eBay A great source for bargain instruments, antique instruments and low cost books and manuals.. but buyer be careful.

Major Page Updates

Home Page -New sections added as described elsewhere on this update.

Bimetallic Thermometer Vendors -has a significant update

Thermal Imager Vendors-has an improved layout and several new vendor sites added and others updates

New Pages

Dewpoint & Humidity Information about moisture measurement in gases, dewpoint temperature, the types of sensors and some vendor listings.
Steel Applications An outline of intended applications coverage for both Thermocouple and Infrared temperature sensors; eventually will include full copies of technical papers on use of Infrared Spot and Thermal Imaging sensors in Steel Mills and why certain types of these sensors perform better than others.
Slag Detection By IR ThermographyAn overview of this relatively new and expanding application of Infrared Thermal Imaging equipment including a list of key references and patents, available copies of technical papers and a listing of web connections to equipment vendors.

Next Month's Plans

Major update to Thermistor and Thermistor Vendor pages in the works as a result of new contacts made at October's Philadelphia Sensors Expo. and better appreciation of the wide range of thermistor applications.

A new page on temperature conversions (sigh...we really didn't think it was necessary, but too many want it done). So, we are combining the conversions with a bit more information about the five, six (or maybe more) temperature scales that are out there. The page is on the site but not yet callable by a direct link. You can visit the preliminary version at www.temperatures.com/scales.html. All pre-publishing feedback greatly appreciated.

A review of a NEW SPIE book on IR temperature measurement errors is in the works, too. The book has been added to the list of available temperature reference works of the References Page.
