List of temperature sensors
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Temperature sensors are used in a wide variety of scientific and engineering applications, especially measurement systems. Temperature systems are primarily either electrical or mechanical, occasionally inseparable from the system which they control (as in the case of a mercury thermometer).
This article lists components with the primary purpose of converting thermal energy into mechanical or electrical energy, either directly, or by converting energy through multiple intermediate domains.
