 Types of  Temperature Humidity Probe

There are four main types of temperature probes:

1. Thermocouples:

 

Thermocouples are the most common type of temperature probe. They are made of

 

two different metals that are joined together at one end. When the temperature changes, a voltage is produced

 

at the junction of the metals. This voltage is proportional to the temperature. Thermocouples are very versatile

 

and can be used to measure a wide range of temperatures, from -200°C to 2000°C.

2.  Resistance temperature detectors (RTDs):

 

 

RTDs are made of a metal conductor, such as copper or nickel. 

The resistance of the conductor changes

 

with temperature. This change in resistance can be measured and used to 

calculate the temperature.

 

RTDs are more accurate than thermocouples, but they are also more expensive.

3. Thermistors:

 

Thermistors are semiconductors that exhibit a large change in resistance with temperature.

 

This makes them very sensitive to temperature changes. Thermistors are typically used to measure

 

temperatures over a narrow range, such as in medical devices or electronic circuits.

4. Semiconductor-based temperature sensors:

 

Semiconductor-based temperature sensors are the newest type of temperature probe. They are made of silicon or

 

other semiconductor materials and use a variety of physical effects to measure temperature. Semiconductor-based

 

temperature sensors are very accurate and can be used to measure a wide range of temperatures.

There are also two main types of humidity probes:

 

1. Capacitive humidity sensors:

 

 

 

Capacitive humidity sensors measure the change in capacitance of a capacitor as the humidity changes.

 

This change in capacitance is proportional to the humidity.
