An arm carrying thin-film resistance thermometers and a velocity anemometer.
Thermistors and resistance thermometers are resistors whose resistance changes when the temperature changes.
A standard example of a measuring unit is a resistance thermometer.
Mechanical strain on the resistance thermometer can also cause inaccuracy.
This style is popular with resistance thermometers, also known as resistance temperature detectors or RTDs.
That is, the heat generated by the resistance thermometers themselves heat the sample.
The transducers most widely used are resistance thermometers and thermocouples.
A resistance thermometer often conveniently takes the form of a hot-wire anemometer probe with a very low current through it.
Thermistor beads are also often used as the sensitive elements of resistance thermometers.
In principle, several types of resistance thermometers can be used.
