temperature sensors

A common misconception of thermocouples and RTDs is that they are created equal. Not true. Yes, they are probably the lowest cost item within your processing system, but they should not be viewed as a throw-away item. Let us look at where and why your failures are happening to determine how to get more life out of your sensors. Too often customers just buy the least expensive sensors when they are one of the most critical components. They may be cheap from any catalog house but they are not less expensive when you consider downtime and all of the other aspects that go into part failure.
