Temperature Sensors (Japan Only)

What is a Temperature Sensor?

A sensor that measures temperature is called a temperature sensor.
Temperature sensors can be roughly divided into two types: contact sensors, which measure by contacting the object to be measured, and non-contact sensors, which measure without contacting the object to be measured.
Here we introduce thermocouples and resistance thermometer, which are widely used to measure temperature, especially in testing and research sites, and in production sites such as factories.

For a detailed explanation of thermocouples and resistance thermometer, please see What is a temperature sensor?
