Temperature measurements are perhaps the oldest known measurements. One of the most linear, stable, and reproducible temperature sensors is the Platinum RTD, Resistance Temperature Detector.
Temperature measurements are perhaps the oldest known measurements. One of the most linear, stable, and reproducible temperature sensors is the Platinum RTD, Resistance Temperature Detector. The RTDâ„¢s resistance vs temperature characteristics are stable, reproducible, and have a near linear positive temperature coefficient from Å’200 to 800 °C. These attributes establish RTDs as a de-facto industry standard. Temperature is determined by measuring resistance and then using the RTDâ„¢s iTR vs TlR characteristics to extrapolate temperature.Â
