Which temp sensor is going to give the best performance. The DS's have a much narrower range and output directly in centrigrade. simple + and - 5 VDC and a digital out. The K-Type thermocouples are are 2 wire through the sensor wiring set up with a much larger range. Is the large range going to make reporting accuracy at the lower end of mid level mushy? Or maybe a combination of the two. K-type in the tuns and DS's in or on valves and fittings. That would add a lot of data colection points for way cheap. I got 10 DS's for 9 dollars and 6 K-Type for about 35 dollars. any ideas on placing them in the most effective pattern? Or better yet any place to avoid putting them to prevent damage or leakage. Or even a different temp sensor that works better all together? Comments or opinions?
