Temperature Instruments products for sale online in Zambia

Temperature instrumentation includes a wide range of field instruments and sensors used to measure temperature in commercial and industrial systems. These temperature control systems include manual and automatic processes for monitoring and controlling the temperature to maintain an ideal operating range to optimize production and prevent equipment damage or failure. Thermometers contain mercury or any other fluid. Temperature is directly proportional to an expansion of mercury. As soon as the temperature increases it causes fluid to expand. Hence, the temperature can be measured by measuring the volume of fluid. Devices used for temperature measurement include different thermometers, thermocouples, or digital thermometers. Browse through this category for various temperature instruments available in Zambian stores.

Temperature measurement describes the process of measuring a current local temperature for immediate or later evaluation. Datasets consisting of repeated standardized measurements can be used to assess temperature trends.

Devices for measuring temperature include:

• Thermocouples.
• Thermistors.
• Resistance temperature detector (RTD)
• Pyrometer.
• Langmuir probes (for electron temperature of a plasma)
• Infrared thermometer.
• Other thermometers.

There are three main scales commonly used in the world today to measure temperature: the Fahrenheit (°F) scale, the Celsius (°C) scale, and the Kelvin (K) scale.

Temperature Sensors

• Thermocouples. Thermocouples are the most commonly used type of temperature sensor.
• RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) As temperature changes, the resistance of any metal changes as well.
• Thermistors.
• Semiconductor based ICs.

Pyrometer, device for measuring relatively high temperatures, such as are encountered in furnaces

Types of thermometers for a child.

• Digital thermometers.
• Ear (or tympanic) thermometers.
• Infared thermometers.
• Strip-type thermometers.
• Mercury thermometers.
