Applied Sensor Technologies
Division of United Electric Controls
Applied Sensor Technologies offers four types of Temperature Sensing Elements:
Applied Sensor Technologies excels in supplying today’s exacting manufacturers with temperature sensors that meet their needs. We can help you develop, and then manufacture the sensor that works with your product. Our strengths include: • Convenience – Sales personnel, located around the world, are available to serve customers whenever and wherever they need assistance
• Engineering Expertise – We’ll work with your engineers to develop the right design
• Lean Manufacturing – Our highly effi cient manufacturing processes are designed to build your sensor economically and reliably
• Responsiveness – We’ll deliver your parts when you need them
A thermocouple is two wires of dissimilar metals joined at one end. Changes in temperature at the junction induce a change in electromotive force (emf) at the other end. Our standard offering includes base-metal (J, K, E and T) and noble-metal (R, S, and B) calibrations.
RTD’s or Resistance Temperature Detectors
An RTD’s resistance increases as the temperature increases. We offer both wire-wound and thin-fi lm designs, depending on the application. Many possible curves are available, from 100-
ohm, 500-ohm, and 1000-ohm platinum RTDs in both DIN and American alphas, to nickel-iron and copper curves.
Applications
We manufacture temperature sensors for many different types of customers’ applications. Some of our customers use our products in equipment such as:• Scientifi c Instruments – Storage and measurement• Food Equipment – Cooking, storing and cleanup
• Medical Equipment – Sterilizing, biological storage
• Aerospace – Exhaust gas monitoring
Thermistors rely on the resistance change in a ceramic semiconductor, with the resistance dropping non-linearly with a temperature rise. Many different elements are offered, including the common 10K and 100K curves.
IC Sensors
The integrated circuit (IC)
temperature transducer provides either voltage or current output and is extremely linear.
