Exploring the 3 most common industrial temperature sensors

Accurate temperature sensing is a core part of industrial and commercial automation systems. Whether it’s for protecting equipment, optimizing processes, or managing environmental conditions, there are many technologies available for sensing temperature.

These three temperature sensor types are by far the most widely integrated into industrial and commercial systems:

• K-type thermocouples – rugged sensors built to handle extreme heat and vibration
• NTC thermistors – fast, compact, and cost-efficient for basic thermal monitoring
• RTD PT100 sensors – high-accuracy probes ideal for process control and repeatable measurements

In our latest article, we take a closer look at these three widely used industrial temperature sensors and how each one fits into modern control systems.
