What methods are used to control temperature during high-temperature tests? - Micro Material UK

Temperature control during high-temperature testing is typically achieved using proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers that regulate heating systems. These controllers manage different zones within a chamber or furnace to maintain uniform temperature across the specimen, even if there are pockets of variable temperature elsewhere.
