Luckily, resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) ... For example, a Pt100 RTD has a resistance of 100 Ω at 0 °C. An accuracy of +/- 0.15 °C at 0 °C is typical, ...

An RTD (resistance temperature detector) is a temperature sensor that operates on the measurement principle that a material’s electrical resistance changes with temperature. The relationship between ...

Designing an analog circuit can be a frustrating experience, as noted by Nick Cornford in his Design Idea (DI), “DIY RTD for a DMM.”With a fortnight’s struggle, I completed the design of 4 mA to 20mA, ...

For an RTD, the resistance of the sensor varies as a function of temperature in a precisely defined manner. The most widely used RTDs areplatinum Pt100 and Pt1000, which are available in 2-wire, ...

RTDs (resistance-temperature detectors) are the preferred sensor choices for designs requiring precision. Although RTDs are approximately linear over the limited temperature range of 0 to 100°C, these ...

Turck introduces the TS530 temperature sensor, the latest addition to the company’s temperature sensor line. Featuring an integrated resistance temperature detector (RTD), the TS530 combines the ...

In this first article in a two-part series, we discuss resistance temperature detector (RTD) circuit design for a functionally safe system and introduce considerations for the Route 2S component ...

The hockey puck-style SB-PT100 resistance temperature detector (RTD) transmitter extends the company’s Generation II family of wireless sensors based on low-power mesh networking sensor technology.

After almost 25 years of service, the generator and transformer protection systems at the hydropower plant of a western U.S. dam and reservoir were upgraded, including the replacement of ...
