Sensing Element.
Sensing element a temperature transducers ita ce element da alamunsa ke badalawa saboda badalawa na mai karfi. Idan mai karfi ya badalawa, maka yana badalawa ne aiki aikin element.
Misali – A Resistance Temperture Detector (RTD) sensing element ita ce Platinum metal.

Transduction Element
Ita ce element da take kawo output ta sensing element zuwa electrical quantity. Badalawa a property ta sensing element tana zama output to. Ita ce take bincike badalawa a property ta sensing element. Output ta transduction element tana calibrate don bayyana output wanda yake nuna badalawa a thermal quantity.
Misali- A thermocouple potential difference tana shirya a gaba-gabanninsu, wanda ake bincika da voltmeter da magnitude of voltage tana shirya ba a yi calibration tana bayyana ide da badalawa na mai karfi.
A nan sensing element tana haɗa da source na mai karfi. Su yana amfani da conduction don transfer mai karfi.
A non-contact temperature sensor, element ba tana haɗa da source na mai karfi (kamar non contact voltage tester or voltage pen). Non-contact temperature sensors yana amfani da principle of convection don heat flow. Various temperature transducers da ake amfani da su a gaba-gaban ana bayyana a nan:
Kalmomin thermistor tana iya kiran Thermal Resistor. Saboda haka, ita ce wata da resistance ta badalawa saboda badalawa na mai karfi. Idan mai karfi ya badalawa, maka resistance ta tana badalawa. Ba tare da harsunan sensitivity masu suna da amfani da su don bincike masu karfi. Su yana aka laifi da ideal temperature transducer. Thermistors suna da mixture of metallic oxides.
Sunana Negative Thermal Coefficient i.e. resistance ta thermistor tana rage saboda rage mai karfi
Sunana da semiconductor materials
Sunana da sensitive than RTD (Resistance Thermometres) and Thermocouples
Resistance ta tana cikin 0.5Ω to 0.75 MΩ
Sunana da amfani da su a cikin applications da measurement range of temperature -60°C to 15°C.
Wata type na temperature transducer ita ce Resistance Temperature Detector ko RTD. RTD’s suna da precision temperature sensors suna da high-purity conducting metals such as platinum, copper or nickel wound into a coil and whose electrical resistance changes as change of temperature, similar to that of the thermistor.
Resistance ta badalawa da following relation as,
R = Resistance of element at given temperature
α = Thermal coefficient of element
Ro = Resistance of element at 0°C
Sunana highly sensitive and very cheap as compared to thermistors and thermocouples
Sunana can measure the temperature from -182.96°C to 630.74°C
Thermocouples suna da temperature transducers wadanda suna da junctions of dissimilar metals, such as copper and constantan that are welded. One junction is kept at a constant temperature called the reference (Cold) junction, while the other the measuring (Hot) junction. When the two junctions are at different temperatures, a voltage is developed across the junction which is used to measure the temperature.

Idan junctions of two metals such as copper and constantan tana haɗa da su, potential difference tana shirya a bayan su. Phenomenon tana kira Seebeck effect saboda temperature gradient tana shirya along the conducting wires producing an emf. Then the output voltage from a thermocouple is a function of the temperature changes.
