Platinum Resistance Thermometer: PT100 vs PT1000
The process control industry almost entirely uses Pt100/Pt1000 platinum thermal resistors as temperature measuring elements. Their resistance changes with temperature. The industry also uses this principle of thermal resistors for accurate temperature measurement. The 1000 after the letter “PT” means that its resistance is 1000 ohms at 0°C, while Pt100 is 100 ohms, and the … Read more
