RTDs or resistance temperature detectors are commonly used to accurately and quickly measure the temperature of applications. These devices can be constructed using various materials such as platinum, nickel, copper, nickel- iron, etc. These different materials can have an effect on the functionality of the RTD. (more…)

Mica heating elements are a popular choice in various heating applications due to their high temperature capabilities of up to 600°C. Where other types of heating elements cannot handle the required temperatures, a mica solution is often used. Mica heaters are made using thin sheets of mica, allowing for low thermal mass and extremely quick heat-up times. Due to the...

In most applications, temperature is a parameter that needs to be constantly monitored. This is because the functioning of an application depends on the temperature. Hence, monitoring is important to make sure the optimal temperature is maintained at all times. For this particular function, we use temperature sensors like Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) sensors, thermocouples, etc. What is a Resistance...

Thermocouple sensors are among the popular types of sensing elements used to measure temperature in industrial applications. They are selected from other sensors such as thermistors, semiconductors, and Resistance Thermometer Detectors (RTD). Let us understand more about thermocouples, their advantages and uses. (more…)

Etched foil circuits are important components in flexible electronics and appliances. These circuits can be found in flexible heaters, which are used in a variety of industrial applications such as medical incubators and genetic testing systems; aerospace battery packs and navigation equipment, and semiconductor acid heating in wafer processing baths. Needless to say, there are a variety of applications that...
