About Thermocouple Simulators and RTD Simulators

Thermocouple simulators and RTD simulators provide precise standard values of resistance or voltage for simulation and calibration. Thermocouples are bimetallic temperature probes used in a variety of temperature sensing applications. Resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) are wire windings or other thin-film serpentines that exhibit changes in resistance with changes in temperature. RTD simulators provide a resistance value simulating the output of a resistance temperature detector (RTD) at a particular temperature. In some cases, resistance decade boxes can be used as RTD simulators. Thermocouple simulators provide a voltage value simulating the millivolt (mV) drop output of a thermocouple at a particular temperature. Some voltage sources can be used as thermocouple simulators.
