Glass Thermistors

Glass probe thermistors are best suited in applications that require high stability and ruggedness. Four standard outer diameters give manufacturers the ease and flexibility to place thermistors into the product design of where other probes could compromise the housing design and the successful use of the thermistor. Although used for many different reasons, applications typically include:
- Fluid Level Measurement
- Fluid Flow Measurements
- Temperature Measurements
- Temperature Compensation
- Thermal Conductivity Measurement
Glass probes have many beneficial features, which is why they are so frequently used. They have superior stability when compared to other sensors, are robustly constructed and are hermetically sealed. If glass probes do not fit your application needs, consider small glass bead thermistors. These beads offer small size and are known for their fast-thermal response time. They are very sensitive to both voltage and current changes. Typical applications for these devices include:
- Thermodilution Cardiac Catheters
- Biomedical Assemblies
- Fluid Flow
- Fluid Level Measurement
- Gas Analysis
- Small Surface Temperature Measurements
