Small Bead Thermistors

CTS small bead thermistors, sometimes referred to as glass beads, offer the advantages of small size and mass, very fast thermal response time, extreme sensitivity to current and voltage changes, and high stability. Typical applications include thermodilution cardiac catheters and other biomedical assemblies, fluid flow and fluid level measurement, thermal conductivity measurement, gas analysis, and small surface area temperature measurement.
