It is common knowledge in industry that 4-wire measurement is the preferred method for resistances under 1 Ω but what makes it so advantageous over 2- and 3- wire measurement? Let’s look at how the technique was invented and why it works.

“I would like to order a million infrared temperature sensors” is the kind of request that a temperature measurement company likes to hear. In the response to COVID-19, many people are looking for solutions to monitoring people’s temperature and we have fielded several of these inquiries. TEGAM specializes in contact temperature measurement as opposed to infrared temperature measurement and you can read about the

Advanced Energy owns 100+ infrared pyrometers for exact non-contact temperature measurement

Pyrometers are temperature measurement instruments that operate on the principle of infrared radiation, i.e. they detect infrared radiation of objects to exactly determine the temperature without making contact with the process or surface being measured.

In many industry sectors, the use of non-contact temperature measurement instruments is an important technology. For example, it is

Did you know that you can use your thermocouple calibrator as a diagnostic tool to troubleshoot your temperature control circuit?

To maximize your thermocouple calibrator as a diagnostic tool, it must have a combination of key features. It needs a dual display - one showing the value of the output signal and a second display to  show the value of the input signal; SOURCE and MEASURE functions.

The thermocouple calibrator also needs the output (

There are several brands and manufacturers of thermocouple calibrators in the marketplace today. Like most instruments and devices, not all temperature calibrators are created equal. TEGAM provides information here based on our 940A and 945A thermocouple calibrators as well as our white paper, Ho

Thermocouple Temperature Probes & Sensors

Thermocouple probes are available in a variety of forms. These range from fine gauge wire, possibly with a washer for attachment up to a metal clad, mineral insulated (MI) cable for industrial applications. Wire thermocouples are available in heavy gauges (8 or 10 AWG) for high temper

The National Institute of Metrology of Thailand (NIMT) has upgraded the capability of their RF power sensor calibration system to 50 GHz, thanks to TEGAM’s thermistor RF power standards. With this upgrade, NIMT has now become one of the leaders in the world of metrology - capable of providing RF power sensors calibration service - traceable to NIST - from 9 kHz to 50 GHz. Metrology is the science of measurement. The Science es

The Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO) by the Food and Drug Administration requires recording the temperature at multiple transfer points between producers, transporters and processors. Manually checking these temperatures to verify that the milk is within the target range of 32-40 °F (0-4.4 °C) is a good facility practice. However, the process can be automated to use less

Have you ever tried to determine what the accuracy of a thermocouple calibrator is in degrees? Accuracy specifications are typically given as a percent of a reading ± a small Voltage; not in degrees. To help TEGAM users, we developed this table below to convert the 940 Series Thermocouple Calibrators` specifications into degrees. We used the maximum error for each 100°C increment of the thermocouple’s range so that you can easily see what the accuracy is IN degrees, within
