2. Sensor and chain selection according to temperature range

The order of magnitude of the temperatures to be measured has a profound influence on the choice of sensor, while the range explored around the mean value helps to specify the choice of measurement chain.

Each type of thermometer has its own optimum working range. Changing the temperature range means using completely different measuring methods. This also applies when you want to increase accuracy significantly.

Please refer to the table 4 , which shows the various areas of application for each measurement method. For ease of industrial use, it's a good idea to stay within the usual limits marked with a solid line in this table.
