RTD Sensors

Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs) are precision sensors designed to precisely measure the temperature by correlating the resistance of the RTD element with temperature. An RTD sensor, renowned for its unmatched accuracy, is a reliable tool in temperature measurement. Commonly made from platinum, nickel, or copper, RTD temperature sensors are integral components of modern industrial processes where reliability and high-precision temperature measurement are critical.

Benefits of Using RTD Sensors

RTD temperature sensors offer numerous benefits in terms of:

• Robust Accuracy and Precision
• Wide Temperature Range
• Durability and Reliability
• Stability and Repeatability
• Compatibility
• Minimal Long-Term Drift
• Low Cost.

Popular Types of RTD Sensors

RTD sensors come in several types, each with its unique characteristics. The most common ones are platinum-based sensors like PT100 and PT1000, which indicate the resistance at 0 degrees Celsius. Nickel and copper RTDs are also available, offering different characteristics such as temperature range and resistance to environmental factors, giving you a wide range of options to choose from.
