In part one, we covered the move from mercury-in-glass thermometers to alternatives. Below, we discuss how these alternatives perform in terms of accuracy, functionality, and limitations. Digital and Analog Options Digital alternatives Thermistors or Themistor…
For a few hundred years, mercury-in-glass thermometers were the precise method for measuring temperature. Since German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit invented them in 1714, the liquid was the expected element in thermometers, which were the…
When your new analytical balance arrives, you want to make sure that it is placed in a location that maximizes accuracy. This means you should not locate it where temperature extremes may occur, such as…
Thermohygrometers are the most common type of humidity sensor and you’ll find them in handheld units and transmitters. They commonly display temperature and humidity simultaneously and have a response rate of about four seconds. Their…
