Thermocouple routines.
Provides a sense_temperature method to convert thermoelectric
potential to temperature. The following thermocouple types are supported:
- Nickel-alloy thermocouples: Type E, J, K, N, T
- Platinum/rhodium-alloy thermocouples: Type B, R, S
This library includes newtype types, or wrapper types, to help with using the proper units when doing calculations. I investigated using a dimensional analysis crate such as uom or dimensioned instead of making my own newtype types. However after experimentation, I found this to be difficult to use and not at all lightweight.
The underlying storage type is either f64 (default) or f32. For the
f64 storage type, the results from this crate match the NIST ITS-90
Thermocouple Database exactly.
Add this to your Cargo.toml:
[dependencies]
thermocouple = "0.1.3"and this to your crate root:
extern crate thermocouple;
