Temperature Sensors for Medical Applications
With a wide range of temperature sensors that are specially designed to ensure precise and repeatable temperature measurement, you can rest assured that Watlow’s sensors are ideal for your demanding medical applications.
Temperature Sensors for Medical Applications
Achieving temperature sensor accuracy, repeatability and stability are key factors that determine how well an application performs. For some medical applications, such as measuring blood or body fluid temperatures, response to small changes in temperature is critical to patient health. Watlow’s temperature sensors are built to ensure precise and reliable temperature measurements, making them a trusted choice for clinical applications.
Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs) for Medical Applications
Watlow’s range of temperature sensors includes mineral insulated thermocouples, resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), and tube and wire thermocouples.
Mineral insulated thermocouples are known for their fast response times, durability, and ability to handle high temperatures. These sensors are ideal for applications requiring precise temperature measurements in harsh environments. RTDs, on the other hand, provide accurate and repeatable temperature measurements. They are designed to meet demanding industrial applications while ensuring a lower total cost of ownership. Tube and wire thermocouples are suitable for medium-duty processes, offering a balance between performance and cost.
Each type of sensor has its unique characteristics, making them suitable for different applications. RTDs are preferred in clinical and medical applications for their precision and reliability.
Reliable and Accurate Temperature Sensor Technology for Medical Applications
Watlow thermal engineers combine deep knowledge of various applications with material science, thermodynamics, electrical properties and connectivity to develop sensors for specific medical applications. The end result is a sensor that consistently yields the best performance in medical device applications. Typically integrated with a Watlow heater for clinical diagnostic applications, Watlow sensor assemblies deliver fast, accurate and repeatable temperature measurements.
