Industrial temperature measurement fundamentals. Covers RTD vs thermocouple selection, 2-wire/3-wire/4-wire RTD circuits, thermocouple types and cold junction compensation, and infrared pyrometry for surface and process temperature.
Calibration without as-found data is a guess. Temperature Measurement (RTD, Thermocouple, Infrared) is how you keep the loop honest: isolate, vent, equalize, apply a known input, and record as-found / as-left. Then walk the wiring. A 3.8 mA fail-low, a reversed polarity, and a wet junction box still account for more “bad transmitters” than a failed sensor.
The useful version of Temperature Measurement (RTD, Thermocouple, Infrared) is the version you can run on nights without a specialist on the radio. Industrial temperature measurement fundamentals. Covers RTD vs thermocouple selection, 2-wire/3-wire/4-wire RTD circuits, thermocouple types and cold junction compensation, and infrared pyrometry for surface and process temperature. Keep the as-found. Change one variable. Hand the next crew a log, not a story.

This page is the crawlable outline Google and a curl-no-JS client can read. Quizzes, video, and progress tracking live in the course player.
I&E technicians who own loops, valves, and transmitters, and who have to defend a calibration in the control room.
Who it is not for: license mills, VR demos, or anyone looking for a fake testimonial. We do not invent customer quotes. Certificates of completion after quizzes go in the file. They are not a journeyman card, an ISA credential, or NFPA 70E qualification by themselves.
ForgeLine Academy currently lists 78 industrial maintenance courses. 44 of those are free (Mechanical and Electrical). Premium unlocks I&E (18) and Engineering (16). That is the whole catalog — not a 22-course teaser and not a four-hour overview of the plant. Call +1 580 421 5714 or email support@forgelineacademy.com for plant cohorts and on-site classes.
Temperature Measurement (RTD, Thermocouple, Infrared) is one course in that 78-course ladder. Mechanical and Electrical remain free. I&E and Engineering are premium. On-site and plant cohorts are scheduled through on-site training or plant support.
Training is educational. It does not replace your site's lockout/tagout, permits, PPE, or required licenses. Certificates of completion go in the file. They are not a license.
