H01: Computer Based Thermometers

 

Purpose: To show the many ways that temperature can be measured. To measure the temperature of various experiments.

Description:

 

CI-6605

This low thermal mass Temperature Sensor ensures a quick response and negligible impact on measured temperatures. This is a one-piece sensor that incorporates a stainless steel sensing element for durability. Comes with a Teflon cover for use in harsh liquids or chemical solutions.

The sensor consists of the stainless steel probe, a 3-foot cable and an 8-pin connector. Temperature can be measured in degrees Celsius, Fahrenheit, or Kelvin.

  CI-6525

PASCO's resistance temperature device is a highly accurate Temperature Sensor made from platinum wire.
Typical Applications: Conduct experiments where temperature to within 0.5 °C is required. Measure temperatures down to -200 °C (liquid nitrogen)

Specifications: Temperature Range -200 °C to +200 °C , Accuracy less than 0.5 °C full scale, Resolution 0.2 °C
