PT-100 RTD Temperature Sensor With Cable

PT-100 RTD Temperature Sensor With Cable

The PT100 is a type of Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) that utilizes platinum as its sensing element. It is named “PT100” because it has a nominal resistance of 100 ohms at 0°C. This sensor operates on the principle that the electrical resistance of platinum increases with temperature in a nearly linear manner, making it highly accurate and stable.

PT100 sensors are typically constructed with a thin film or wire wound onto a ceramic or glass substrate. The sensor is then encapsulated in a protective sheath made of materials like stainless steel or Inconel, which allows it to withstand harsh environmental conditions. The sensor’s design ensures durability and reliability over extended periods of use.

These sensors are known for their high accuracy, with Class A PT100 sensors offering an accuracy of ±0.15°C over a temperature range of -50°C to 150°C. They exhibit excellent stability and repeatability, making them suitable for precise temperature measurements in various industrial applications. Additionally, PT100 sensors are relatively immune to electrical noise, ensuring consistent performance in electrically noisy environments.
