Answers to questions to help explain the operation of RTD sensors and the pros and cons of negative temperature coefficient (NTC) sensors and positive temperature coefficient (PTC) sensors based on platinum, such as the Pt100 and Pt1000. Resistance temperature …
Questions and answers about why resistance temperature detectors are ideal for many refining, processing, and manufacturing applications, and what to keep in mind when choosing the RTDs that meet your specifications. Accurate temperature measurement is …
Questions and answers about how RTDs measure temperature changes by tracking the variation in electrical resistance in metal wires. The resistance values of the metal wires are known, so resistance value changes are an accurate proxy for temperature changes. A …
The process engineers at a major chemical manufacturer were stumped. They were regularly getting very poor response times from their process temperature sensors and simply could not figure out why. The response times to temperature changes were consistently close to 30 …
The electrical resistance of some materials, such as platinum, copper, and nickel, differs at different temperatures. Resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) take advantage of this property to assess temperature in a variety of commercial and industrial applications. …
