RTD Temperature Sensor

RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) sensors represent the pinnacle of precision temperature measurement technology, utilizing the predictable and linear relationship between platinum resistance and temperature to deliver unmatched accuracy and stability across extreme temperature ranges from –200°C to 850°C. These sophisticated temperature sensors are manufactured using high-purity platinum wire wound on ceramic substrates or thin-film deposition techniques, ensuring exceptional repeatability, long-term stability, and minimal drift characteristics essential for critical industrial and laboratory applications.

Available in standard configurations including PT100 (100Ω at 0°C), PT200 (200Ω at 0°C), PT500 (500Ω at 0°C), and PT1000 (1000Ω at 0°C) elements, our RTD sensors feature advanced construction designs optimized for specific applications. Industrial-grade versions incorporate rugged stainless steel or Inconel sheaths with MgO mineral insulation for harsh process environments, while laboratory-grade sensors utilize precision glass or ceramic housings for ultra-stable measurements in controlled conditions.

The sophisticated wire configuration options including 2-wire (basic applications), 3-wire (standard industrial use with lead resistance compensation), and 4-wire (high-precision laboratory applications with complete lead resistance elimination) ensure optimal measurement accuracy for diverse installation requirements. Advanced manufacturing processes ensure Class A (±0.15°C at 0°C) and Class B (±0.30°C at 0°C) accuracy grades conforming to IEC 60751 international standards.

Engineered for demanding applications in plastic processing, HVAC systems, chemical manufacturing, food and beverage processing, pharmaceutical production, power generation, and precision laboratory instrumentation, these RTD sensors deliver superior thermal response characteristics with thin-walled sheath designs enabling response times as fast as 0.5 seconds. The corrosion-resistant construction ensures reliable operation in aggressive chemical environments, steam applications, and corrosive process fluids.

Advanced integration capabilities include weatherproof IP65/67 connection heads, explosion-proof enclosures for hazardous area installations, integrated temperature transmitters for 4-20mA output signals, and comprehensive thermowell compatibility for high-pressure and high-velocity applications. Custom configurations enable application-specific solutions including surface-mounted sensors, magnetic base assemblies, spring-loaded probes, and specialized mounting arrangements optimized for unique industrial requirements.
