Standard Operating Procedure
Technical Information
DataTrace Response to Change
The speed at which a sensor responds to a change in temperature can be critical to monitoring a process accurately. Every temperature sensor requires a certain time for the temperature reported to react to, and equilibrate with, a change in ambient temperature. Two terms are frequently used to describe this analysis: Thermal Time Constant and Response Time. They are frequently used interchangeably to describe this analysis; however, they are not the same.
