There is a demand for standardization as high inventory costs, desire for a fast turnaround on plant maintenance projects, and the standard replacement of thermocouples and RTD’s add up. With Smart Sensors (SSi), you can now standardize on one length sensor for all your temperature requirements. SSi Type ATC, APO, and APH sensors are easily cut to length in the field to a minimum of 3 inches (7.62 cm) long. Using high pressure designs and a variety of metal selections, SSi produces its thermocouples with only the best quality construction in mind.
An RTD, resistance temperature detector, is a passive temperature sensing device that operates on the principle that the resistance of a metal changes as the temperature changes. The electrical current that passes through the element...
Temperature Sensors
Temperature sensors are devices that detect and measure coolness and hotness and convert it into an electrical signal. Temperature sensors are utilized in our daily lives, be it in the form of domestic water heaters...
Thermistors
A thermistor, a shortened version of the term thermal resistor, is a passive component whose resistance changes as the temperature in a system changes. Thus they serve as an inexpensive, accurate, and dynamic method for measuring temperature...
Thermocouples
A thermocouple is a transducer that converts thermal energy into electrical energy and is constructed by joining wires made from dissimilar metals to form a junction. Voltage is produced when the temperature at the junction changes...
Thermowells
A thermowell is a pressure-tight vessel that safeguards and increases the lifespan of temperature sensors in processing plants in cases where a measuring sensor is not otherwise mechanically or chemically useful in...
Cartridge Heater
A cartridge heater is a cylindrical tubular heating device that provides concise and precise heating for various forms of materials, machinery, and equipment. Unlike an immersion heater, a cartridge heater is inserted into a hole in the item to be heated to furnish internal radiant heat...
Heating Element
A heating element is a material or device that directly converts electrical energy into heat or thermal energy through a principle known as Joule heating. Joule heating is the phenomenon where a conductor generates...
Electric Heaters
Electric heating is produced by using a known resistance in an electric circuit. This placed resistance has very few free electrons in it so it does not conduct electric current easily through it. When there is resistance in...
Infrared Heating
Infrared heating is a heating method used to warm surrounding bodies by infrared radiation. Thermal energy is transferred directly to a body with a lower temperature through electromagnetic waves in the infrared region...
