Thermometrics Corporation Datasheets for Resistive Temperature Devices (RTD) Elements
Resistive temperature device (RTD) elements are wire windings or other thin-film serpentines that exhibit changes in resistance with changes in temperature. They are usually made of metallic elements or alloys such as copper, nickel, or nickel-iron.

| Field Adjustable Sensors are ideal for applications involving various sheath lengths that are best determined on site, rather than on an engineering drawing. | |
| For measuring high temperatures you should use a sensor, which reliably works in rough environments, has a long expectancy of life andideally comes up with the space-saving concepts of the... | |
| In a three wire RTD one of the wires is connected to one side of the temperature element and the remaining two wires are connected to the other side of... | |
| Platinum Thin Film RTD Elements are fabricated using state-of-the-art thin film processing techniques, resulting in an element of exceptional quality and stability. | |
| PT100 sensors offer excellent accuracy over a wide temperature range (from -200 to +850 C). | |
| Recognition of rising temperature can provide a warning of the breakdown of the bearing lubricating oil film; thus allowing machine shutdown and maintenance to take place. Prevention is always better... | |
| Resistance thermometers,(RTDs), are temperature sensors that exploit the predictable change in electrical resistance of some materials with changing temperature. | |
| Sanitary RTD sensors provide precise temperature measurements for Sanitary applications found in the Food, Dairy, Beverage, Pharmaceutical and Chemical Industries. | |
| The optimum form of connection for RTDs is a four-wire circuit. It removes the error caused by mismatched resistance of the lead wires. | |
| The Pt1000 has 1000 ohms resistance at 0 C. These sensors are normally fitted into some type of protective sheath or mounting to form a probe. | |
| Universal design allows for quick thermocouple or RTD installation into existing twist-lock adapters. | |
| Using the 2-wire method, the two wires that provide the RTD with its excitation current and the two wires across which the RTD voltage is measured are the same. | |
| Weld Pad RTD and Thermocouple sensors are commonly used in Petro-Chemical industries. These sensors are welded to pipe to provide a measurement of process temperature. | |
| Wire wound elements are basically a "hand made" product which involves lot of skilled Labor. It is manufactured by placing a coil of thin wire into a ceramic insulator. The... |
