A thermistor probe incorporates a thermistor within a probe assembly to accurately measure temperatures across various environments.
The core component, a thermistor, is a type of resistor whose resistance changes with temperature, allowing precise temperature readings. Specifically, its resistance decreases with an increase in temperature and vice versa. This property makes thermistors ideal for a wide array of temperature monitoring tasks.
Thermistor probes are extensively used in industrial processes, medical equipment, environmental monitoring, and research, among others, for tasks like machinery temperature control, air and water temperature measurement, and soil temperature analysis. Their design typically includes a sensitive thermistor element, a protective probe housing, and a connecting cable for data transmission. Notable for their compact size, affordability, and rapid response, these probes provide versatility in temperature measurement with a broad operational range.
