United Electric Controls Company Datasheets for Temperature Sensors
Temperature sensors are measurement devices that infer temperature by sensing some physical characteristic (i.e. resistance, emf or thermal radiation).

| Product Name | Notes |
|---|---|
| Head and Sheath Resistance Temperature Detectors -- RTDs | RTD’s are stable and have a fairly wide temperature range, but are not as rugged and inexpensive as thermocouples. Since they require the use of electric current to make measurements,... |
| Thermistors | Thermistors tend to be more accurate than RTD’s and thermocouples, but they have a much more limited temperature range because of their marked non-linearity. A Thermistor capitalizes on the fact... |

Head and Sheath Thermocouple -- Type E
Head and Sheath Thermocouple -- Type J Head and Sheath Thermocouple -- Type K Head and Sheath Thermocouple -- Type T |
Thermocouples are two wires of dissimilar metals, joined at one end. Changes in the temperature at the "hot junction" (measuring end) induce a change in electromotive force (emf) at the... |
