Thermocouple vs RTD vs Thermistor - Learn the differences

- Here's how to easily identify these three different types of sensors - Thermocouple vs RTD vs Thermistor. Understanding the differences will help you in either utilizing these sensors or help understand what to replace them with.
A thermocouple uses two metal wires to produce a voltage relative to the temperature present in the junction between them. There are many specialized kinds of thermocouples - they can combine different metals to measure various characteristics and temperature ranges, and produce specialized calibrations.
RTD vs Thermistor -
In recent years, thermistors have become increasingly popular due to improvements in meters and controllers. Today’s meters are flexible enough to allow users to set up a broad range of thermistors, and to interchange the probes easily.
However, unlike RTDs which offer established standards, thermistors curves vary depending on the manufacturer. A thermistor’s system electronics need to match the curve of sensor. range of temperature sensors The main difference between RTDs and thermistors is the material they are made of. While RTD resistors are pure metal, thermistors are made with polymer or ceramic materials.
As in the previous section, I am going to compare specific criteria rather than comparing thermistors and RTDs in general.

That was very simple and very helpful, many Thanks
You sir will help me pass my instrumentation class XD
Glad we could help.. be sure to like and subscribe!
Great job my friend.
You seem to be very very very clever. The whole wide world 🌎 really needs people like you.
The black and white as seen on TV opening 😂 Gets me every time
Ok now THAT was effective learning! Big kudos earned!
nice clear and concise info thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@DwyerOmega What is the exact temperature range for all three of them?
Thank you sir
That was excellent. Well done and thank you.
Microvacuum chamber , isolated adjusted pressure and atmosphere pressure are best for all around sendir
Great video thanks

Hello, great videos. I have a question about cartridge heaters. How can you test a 220 volt 80 watt cartridge heater? Two wire. I tried to ohm a known good one and a known bad one. They don't have resistance ohm reading?
Hi Brett, good question! You can reach out to one of our Electric Heaters Experts at: heaters@omega.com
Thank you so much
Your welcome, Glad we could help!
Great video. Do you have a video on how to use a thermistor with a voltage divider connected to the analog pin of a micro controller? Thanks again!
Thanks bro. Very Simple and understandable.
What is the ohms freq.of k type grounded thermocouple and what is the sheath and lead ohms freq.I am very thankful to you please make detail video about k type grounded or ungrounded thermocouple
Hello Shams, Good question! A grounded type will read 0 to 3 ohms sheath to either TC wire. No frequency, this is very low level DC signal. Also, here is a link to our video on Grounded vs. Ungrounded Thermocouples -

Good info bro, thanks for sharing. One curious thing I want to mention that I found somewhat interesting. The whole world agreed to assign the + charge to the red wire , red terminals, etc. but US . Is it just the desire to be different or just the guy who decided that was an idiot ?
What about thermal image system using in glass furnace for around 1600 centigrade? Can we use these things there?
there are systems out there that will measure well above temperature. However the glass specific systems generally don't go about 1500C
Hey mate, can you help me out here? if my digital thermometer is type K but my thermocouple wire is type J, i know that i will get a reading; however, how accurate is that? Is there any way to apply a correction or something else? because in my experience, by using such a set up im getting a reading with discrepancies up to 2-3°C respect to the reading obtained by using a thermometer type K with a thermocouple K.
Thank you

If reading 0 ohm at thermocouple mean thermocouple is bad or good?
Thanks for your inquiry! You will never read 0Ω across a thermocouple. Only if your device has a very low resolution would reading zero be possible. That doesn’t mean the thermocouple is bad.
I have a sensor that the machine is using as temperature sensor. It has 2 wire both white. Resistance is about 1k. What could it possibly be? please.
I think it's a thermistor for two reasons:
1- Per TC classification chart no white wires.
2- It has the highest resistance value compared to RTD and TC.
So, you simply need to check your machine operation settings, Temp. Wise, and chose the right Thermistor.
can RTD is used for forest fire detection
To makesure id thermisitor by change temperature and voltage change compare to bimetal the same and you should notice voltage re solutions o f bimetal i s smooth tran s ition compare to thermistor may not smooth
can thermocouples measure air temperature?
Yes they can, we recommend using an exposed junction thermocouple for measuring air temperatures. Here is some more information on thermocouples: www.omega.com/en-us/resources/thermocouples-construction
What does RTD stand for?
Hello Cee R, RTD stands for Resistance Temperature Detector: We have a video on "What is an RTD" here: ruclips.net/video/0_jRsNcOH0c/видео.html
I got them all right, and it isn't because i work there either.... or is it? :)
yes but what if you mistake a bad thermalcouple for a thermistor lol
