    Thermocouples measure temperature by creating a voltage from the junction of two dissimilar metals; the voltage produced is proportional to the temperature difference at the junction. Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs) also measure temperature but work by changing electrical resistance as temperature changes, making them known for accuracy and stability. Both thermocouples and RTDs are common sensor types used to monitor temperature in industrial and laboratory processes.

    THERMOCOUPLE
    A Thermocouple is a sensor used to
    measure temperature.
    Thermocouples consist of two wire
    legs made from different metals. The
    wires legs are welded together at
    one end, creating a junction. This
    junction is where the temperature is
    measured. When the junction
    experiences a change in
    temperature, a voltage is created.

    RTD
    Resistance Temperature Detectors
    (RTDs) are temperature sensors that
    contain a resistor that changes
    resistance value as its temperature
    changes. They have been used for
    many years to measure temperature
    in laboratory and industrial
    processes, and have developed a
    reputation for accuracy,
    repeatability, and stability.

    OPERATION OF RTD
    An RTD can be connected in a two,
    three, or four-wire configuration.
    2-Wire Configuration:-

    3-Wire Configuration:-

    4-Wire
