A Thermistor thermometer is referred to as a semi conductor device that has electrical resistance and found to be proportional to temperature. Basically the word Thermistor formed with the combination of two words named as 'resistor' and 'thermal'. These are known to be the type of resistor with electrical resistance carrying positive or negative temperature resistance which decreases by 3% per degree Celsius.
Basically there are two kinds of thermistors which are referred to as PTC means Positive Temperature Coefficient of Resistance and NTC meaning Negative Temperature Coefficient of Resistance. NTC are the forms which have inverse relation with temperature and resistance of the object which means that when there is an increase in the temperature of the object there will be a proportional decrease in the resistivity too. Simultaneously if there is a decrease in temperature the resistant level will have an increase.
Whereas the PTC are concerned they witness the same change in the temperature and resistance which means that when there is an increase in the temperature the resistance will also get increase and when there is a fall in temperature reading of the object the resistivity too will decrease.
It's Incredible Uses:
• The thermistors are widely used these days in numerous medical, applications. It is appropriately used in clinical stethoscopes or by way of probes at the time of surgery as well as in various medical units to avoid overheating in circuits, such as X-Ray and ECG machines, MRI Scanners, Blood dialysis equipment Infant incubators, etc.
• We may find their effective usage in home gadgets like cell phones, computers, amplifiers, cars, Air conditioners, Clothes dryers, Dishwashers, Electric water heaters, Fire detectors, Home weather stations, Oven temperature control, Refrigerator and freezer temperature Control, Toasters, Washing machines.
• Whereas industrial applications are concerned it has a main role to play in gadgets like Fluid flow measurement, HVAC equipment, Photographic processing equipment, Plastic laminating equipment, Water purification equipment, Welding equipment, Gas flow indicators, vending machines, Aircraft temperature, Missiles and spacecraft temperature, Satellites, etc.
Most popular model in this category is manufactured by Barnant which offers you with incredible specifications as temperature measuring range from 32 to 122°F or 0 to 50°C, large dual display, overrange, underrange, and low-battery indications, Open sensor, DT function to display the differential temperature relating to current plus assessed one, memory storage function up to 99 temperature readings, recall option, automatic or manual field calibration, Splash or shatterproof resistant and with 1/4" probe with plug connector.
Thermistor thermometer is compact, durable, reasonable and user-friendly device that can be used to measure the precise temperature of food, human being, animals, industrial gadgets, etc. These are found to be more instant and accurate as compared to the traditional or analog ones. Few steps on how to use this device:
• The first thing that you need to undertake is switch on the measuring unit.
• After that check the temperature reading status of the unit means it should be on zero level. In case it is not set it down by pressing the reset button on the device.
• Once you are done with this, hold the probe of the unit and make it to contact directly with object or subject you desire to measure. However in case of food you need to insert the probe nearly half inch deep into it and that too once you are finished with the cooking process.
• Later on wait for seconds till you hear a beep sound.
• Then remove the unit out of the measured object or subject and check the temperature reading over the display screen of the gadget.
