Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs) use the relationship between a change in temperature and the resulting change in resistance of one or more fine metal wires or films that are wrapped around a ceramic or glass core. Multiple wire configurations are used to minimize the effect of a change in the resistance of the lead wire.
Cleveland Electric Laboratories typically supplies 3-wire Platinum RTDs. Platinum has the most stable resistance-temperature relationship over the largest temperature range and is also not susceptible to corrosion or degradation. There are several options in regards to accuracy or class of RTD.
Highly accurate with fast response time & an excellent degree of repeatability. Suitable for a many temperature measurement & control applications up to 1200°F.
Typically supplied with platinum sensing elements, Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs) measure the change in electrical resistance to determine temperature. For temperature sensing applications under 750°F, RTD’s provide excellent long-term stability and accuracy.
