WHAT ARE THE APPLICATIONS AND USES OF DIGITAL THERMOMETER

What is the Use of a Digital Thermometer

The thermometer is the basic tool that is used for measuring temperatures.
There are various types of thermometers that are widely used in Laboratories,
Diagnostic labs, Dairy Industries, and many other applications.

There has been a great revolution in the field of thermometers. From the
earlier mercury-based thermometers, we have arrived at the digital
thermometers of today that have a sensor to measure the change in
resistance due to heat.

This change in resistance gets converted into a temperature. The main part
of a digital thermometer is the thermistor. It senses the temperature and there
is an electronic display to show the temperature. Digital thermometers can
read a wide range of temperatures based on their type and purpose.

Hospitals, Scientific Industries and Suppliers, laboratories, Food
Industries, and many other industries use high-precision digital
thermometers to measure the temperature accurately.

What is a thermistor?

A thermistor is a resistor whose resistance value changes with the
change in temperature. When the thermistor gets heated, its resistance
goes up or down depending on its temperature coefficient. The analog
output is supplied to the ADC through the wires and converted into a
digital signal. A microcontroller receives it and after further processing,
the temperature reading is displayed on the LCD interface to the
microcontroller.

Whether it is used in a Pharmaceutical Industry or a bakery, precision
is important in a digital thermometer. Nowadays, highly precise
thermometers are available in the market.

Digital thermometers can send data directly to a microprocessor. They are
simple to operate, affordable, and precise.

What are the Applications of a Digital Thermometer?

Domestic Purpose

•Check the temperature of the water before bathing.
•To check the temperature of food items for cooking.
•To measure the temperature of grill stands, ovens,
and other heating appliances.

Laboratory Purpose

•To check the temperature of a solution.
•To check the room temperature or atmospheric temperature
to carry out experiments.
