If operating temperature in a data sheet is not given?

In summary, if the operating temperature is not specified in the data sheet of a device, it is best to contact the manufacturer for accurate information. This could mean that the temperature is not a significant factor, but it is always best to confirm with the manufacturer. The provided data sheet may not have been updated to include this information, which is usually provided for both operation and storage temperatures. It is recommended to call the manufacturer for more reliable information, as they are aware of the limits and specifications of their own product.

if operating temperature in a data sheet is not given??

if the operating temperature is not mentioned in the data sheet of a device, does it mean that the temperature is a non-issue and that it can operate at any temperature?even -90celsius??

No.
Probably means it can only operate at 25 degree C.

Can you post a link to the datasheet?

It probably means that the manufacture has not tested it at temperature.
Manufacture has a free telephone number that you can call. Call the manufacture and ask him. The answer you get will be much more reliable than anything that you get on an engineering forum.

there's a metal to glass seal someplace in that device. The manufacturer's ceramic engineer knows its limits and I'm surprised it's not in the datasheet. Usually the limit for operation and storage are both given.

I bet Perkin-Elmer will appreciate your pointing it out.
 

1. What is the significance of the operating temperature in a data sheet?

The operating temperature in a data sheet refers to the temperature range in which a device or system can function properly without any risk of damage or failure.

2. Why is the operating temperature not always included in a data sheet?

The operating temperature may not be included in a data sheet if it is assumed to be within a standard range for the particular device or if it is not a critical factor for the device's performance.

3. How can I determine the operating temperature if it is not provided in the data sheet?

You can contact the manufacturer directly or refer to industry standards and guidelines to determine the recommended operating temperature range for similar devices.

4. What happens if the operating temperature exceeds the recommended range?

If the operating temperature exceeds the recommended range, the device may experience performance issues, malfunctions, or even permanent damage.

5. Is it safe to operate a device outside of its recommended operating temperature?

No, it is not safe to operate a device outside of its recommended operating temperature. Doing so may result in reduced performance, malfunction, or permanent damage to the device.
