Industrial Temperature Primer

Chapter 6.

Summary

In the preceding chapters, we have discussed the basic parts of a temperature control loop. The sensor, the signal conditioner / transmitter, the controller, and the final control device. Our discussion has been brief and intended only as a primer for those not experienced in temperature control systems. In other words, we have just scratched the surface of this important phase of process control.
