RTD Temperature Sensors

The RTD Temperature Sensor is the latest development for measuring the temperature of materials processed in glassed steel reactors. It is a three-wire, 100 ohm platinum Resistance Temperature Detector permanently encased in a corrosion resistant tantalum housing. The RTD has a high sensitivity to small temperature changes, which is vital to precise temperature measurement and control within very narrow limits. The output sensitivity is approximately ten times greater than thermocouples used in the same type of applications.
