Understanding RTD Sensors: Key to Measure Industrial Temperature
“RTD” stands for “resistance temperature detector.” It is a type of temperature sensor. And it uses the electrical resistance of metal to measure temperature. RTDs offer high accuracy and stability. But they are more expensive than other sensors, such as thermocouples. They are widely used in various industries, including automotive, aviation, and food processing. The sensing element of an RTD sensor is typically made of platinum, copper, or nickel. The temperature range is -196°C to 600°C. Some special designs can even reach 1000°C. At Sino-Inst, we primarily offer thr......
