PT100 Temperature Sensor

Key Features

High Accuracy and Stability: Platinum’s chemical stability ensures consistent and repeatable temperature readings over time, with minimal drift.

Predictable Resistance-Temperature Curve: The resistance of the PT100 increases in a linear and well-defined manner with temperature, making it easy to calibrate and interpret data.

Wide Temperature Range: PT100 sensors can operate across a broad spectrum of temperatures, from very low to high temperatures, depending on the specific model.

Resistance-Based Measurement: Unlike a thermocouple that generates voltage, the PT100 is an RTD that uses the principle of changing electrical resistance with temperature to determine the temperature.

Durable Construction: The sensor is typically encased in a protective sheath, often made of stainless steel, which provides mechanical protection and resistance to corrosion in harsh environments.
