Below are commonly asked questions about the Thermocouple/RTD's we represent.

What is an RTD?
A Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) is a term for a sensor that senses temperature by measuring the change in resistance of a material.
At what point is a thermocouple sensing temperature?
Any two metals that are dissimilar in their metallurgical makeup can be considered a thermocouple when they are joined together. The joined ends of the thermocouple are called the sensing junction.
What calibration of thermocouples are available?
The most common calibrations are “J” and “K”. Some of the other options include “E”, “T” and “S”.
Can a thermocouple be certified at a certain temperature?
We offer NIST certified thermocouples or verified thermocouples.
