Temperature Sensors Development in the Chemical Industries

Abstract

Temperature sensors have been of major interest, especially in chemical industries, in order to increase the quality of wide range of products. These devices are considered to be the eyes of the chemical processes, as they report the continuous changes in temperature. This literature based research paper evaluates six different developed types of temperature sensors, according to four most critical parameters. This assessment was limited to the sensor location and accuracy, the range of temperature measured, and to the size of the temperature sensor. It is concluded that the technological temperature sensors are the optimum technology to produce high quality products. For instance, the optical sensors showed a high level of accuracy and the fact that they have the facility of remote sensing.
