    Temperature scales referenced to absolute zero, the lowest possible temperature.

    Uses 4 sensor specific constants to produce a curve that defines the actual relationship between resistance and temperature for a resistance temperature detector (RTD), which increases the accuracy.

    The reference junction of a thermocouple.

    The sensing element of a thermocouple, which changes with measured temperature.

    An international standard that defines the ideal relationship between resistance and temperature for a resistance temperature detector (RTD).

    A turbulent wake caused by fluid flowing around a fixed object.
