Burns Engineering designs and manufactures temperature sensors and transmitters for the process and OEM industries. Our product line includes industrial thermocouples, thermocouple assemblies, temperature sensors, RTDs and laboratory reference thermometers. Calibration services are also available.
An RTD, resistance temperature detector, is a passive temperature sensing device that operates on the principle that the resistance of a metal changes as the temperature changes. The electrical current that passes through the element...
A thermistor, a shortened version of the term thermal resistor, is a passive component whose resistance changes as the temperature in a system changes. Thus they serve as an inexpensive, accurate, and dynamic method for measuring temperature...
A thermocouple is a transducer that converts thermal energy into electrical energy and is constructed by joining wires made from dissimilar metals to form a junction. Voltage is produced when the temperature at the junction changes...
