    Ic Range Sensor
AI Thread Summary
Most temperature sensor ICs have an upper limit of around 150°C, making it challenging to find one that can measure up to 400°C. Users suggest alternatives like thermocouples, particularly "J" or "K" types, which are commonly used in industrial applications. Non-contact infrared optical temperature sensors are also recommended for high-temperature measurements. Concerns are raised about the feasibility of finding an IC for such high temperatures, as the original poster has struggled to locate one. The discussion emphasizes the importance of selecting the right type of sensor for extreme temperature applications.

most of the temp sensor ics goes upto 150 'c. can anyone suggest any ic that has upper limit of 400 'c? may be 350 'c

Use a thermocouple.
 
... or a non-contact IR optical temperature sensor.
 
Both suggestions are good but in industry we use either "J" or "K" thermocouples with "K" being the most common where I work. If the temperature was around the boiling point of water I would recommend a RTD.
 
I just read you post without reading the replys. If a IC is so hot that you cannot place your finger on it for over 1 second, it is too hot! You either have a heat sink problem or a bad IC.
 
Ummm, no. He doesn't wish to remove heat away from a part that is used as a sensor to meause temperature. His problem is that he is looking for something that most likely doesn't exist. He has admitted that he is unable to find it so he has been given a couple of choices. 350 degrees is far from the boiling point of water.
 

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
