The use of Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTD’s) in the plastics industry is increasing due to their accuracy, stability, and advantages in control circuitry. Durex manufactures a complete line of RTD assemblies in all configurations used for plastics processing equipment.
These assemblies are available in 2 and 3 wire configurations and can retrofit any existing RTD sensors being used. These assemblies can also be constructed with a copper tip to maximize heat transfer to the element and increase response time where tip sensitivity is important.
