Showing Results For: RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector)
RTDs (Resistance Temperature Detectors) are precision temperature sensors utilised in various industries for accurate temperature measurements. RTDs operate on the principle that a material’s electrical resistance changes in response to temperature. The most commonly used material for RTD construction is platinum due to its stability and high accuracy over a broad temperature range. Other materials include nickel and copper, though platinum is preferred for its superior performance. RTDs come in different types, such as 2-wire, 3-wire, and 4-wire configurations, with the 3-wire and 4-wire models offering more accuracy by compensating for lead resistance.
RTDs are widely valued for their ability to deliver consistent and reliable temperature readings, making them indispensable in industries that demand precise temperature monitoring and control, such as:
