    Thermocouples and resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) are common temperature indicators. Thermocouples induce a voltage when two dissimilar conductors are heated, allowing calibration to show the temperature of equipment or materials. Different material combinations are used as industry standards for different temperature levels. As temperature increases, thermocouple voltage increases and as temperature decreases, voltage decreases. RTDs have a transducer inside that allows a current to flow as temperature increases, changing the resistance for digital temperature display.
