Thermistors are made up of semiconductor materials. As temperature changes the resistance of the
material also changes. The temperature range for thermistors is -60oC to +15oC. Its resistance
varies from 0.5 Ω to 0.75 MΩ. Thermistor is placed in contact with the media whose temperature
is to be measured. As the temperature of the media changes, the resistor of the thermistor gets
This type of transducer is used for temperature measurement. Here the basic concept used is that
the electrical resistance of different metals changes in accordance with the temperature i-e for
temperature measurement. Principle used is that the resistance of the conductor changes in
proportion with the change in temperature. The unknown temperature is determined in terms of
electrical resistance of the conductor, which senses the temperature. The change in resistance of
this device is precisely determined either by bridge circuit or by ohmmeter. Resistance of a
conductor changes with change in temperature. This property is used for the measurement of
temperature and each transducer is called Resistance thermometer and falls in the category of
electrical resistive transducer. The variation of resistor "R" with temperature "T" can be presented
as
R = Ro(1+α1T+α2T2+......)
Generally, the metal used is platinum. This is used because of following features:
