Adt Temperature Sensor

A temperature sensor, also known as an ADT (Analog to Digital Temperature) sensor, is a device used to measure temperature. It is typically used in industrial and commercial applications to measure and control temperature. Temperature sensors are available in a variety of forms, including thermocouples, thermistors, resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), and infrared (IR) sensors. Each type of temperature sensor has its own unique characteristics and benefits, making it suitable for different applications. Thermocouples are the most common type of temperature sensor and are typically used for measuring temperatures in the range of -200°C to +1700°C. Thermistors are also commonly used and are typically used for measuring temperatures in the range of -40°C to +150°C. RTDs are more accurate than thermocouples and thermistors and are typically used for measuring temperatures in the range of -200°C to +850°C. Finally, infrared sensors are used for measuring temperatures in the range of -50°C to +1000°C. All of these temperature sensors are available in a variety of sizes and shapes, making them suitable for different applications.
