Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Thermocouple.js

A JavaScript module for thermocouple voltage to temperature conversions. Based on the Python script I wrote of the same function.

Uses polynomial functions with NIST thermocouple tables and coefficients.

  • Supports thermocouples of types B, E, J, K, N, R, S, T
  • All voltage is measured in millivolts (mV)
  • All temperature measurements are in degrees Celcius

No warranty given or implied whatsoever with this tool. Use at your own risk.

Installation

With NodeJS (production)

Create sample.js:

// Convert type K 4 mv to degc
var Thermocouple = require('thermocouple-converter');
var result = Thermocouple.convert(4.0, { type: 'k', input: 'mv' });
console.log(result);

Install package with npm (remove --production to install devDependencies):

npm install thermocouple-converter --production

Run command to give result of 97.64 degrees:

$ node sample.js
97.64306383175676

Conversion function format

Thermocouple.convert(INPUT_VAL, { type: TYPE, input: TC_TYPE });

Parameters:

  • INPUT_VAL - input value to be converted
  • TYPE - single alpha character denoting thermocouple type
  • TC_TYPE - mv or degc designating INPUT_VAL's units. Determines conversion direction.

If no parameters are supplied, k (Type K) and mv is used as default. This results in Type K millivolts conversion to degrees Celcius.

Examples

Convert 4.0 millivolts from type K thermocouple to temperature.

var result = Thermocouple.convert(4.0, { type: 'k', input: 'mv' });

Convert 100.0 degrees C to type K thermocouple millivolts.

var result = Thermocouple.convert(100.0, { type: 'k', input: 'degc' });

Usage on a web site

Load script with <script> tag:

<script src="Thermocouple.js"></script>

Execute custom conversion as normal JS, for example, insert this inside your <body>:

<div id="result"></div>
<script>
    var result = Thermocouple.convert(4.0, { type: 'k', input: 'mv' });
    document.querySelector('#result').innerHTML = result;
</script>
