The distribution of a differential temperature through a body or across a surface. The sensitivity shift due to changes of the ambient temperature from room temperature to the specified limits of the compensated temperature range. An error due to changes in ambient temperature in which the zero pressure output shifts. Thus, the entire calibration curve moves in a parallel displacement. A temperature-sensing element composed of sintered semiconductor material which exhibits a large change in resistance proportional to a small change in temperature.
Thermistors usually have negative temperature coefficients.
This arrangement amplifies the thermoelectric voltage. Thermopiles are usually used as infrared detectors in radiation pyrometry. A closed-end tube designed to protect temperature sensors from harsh environments, high pressure, and flows. They can be installed into a system by pipe thread or welded flange and are usually made of corrosion-resistant metal or ceramic material depending upon the application. A unique bit pattern, called a token, circulates around the ring from terminal to terminal.
