A resistance temperature detector (RTD) that uses platinum to measure temperature precisely is called a PT100 temperature probe.
Description
A resistance temperature detector (RTD) that uses platinum to measure temperature precisely is called a PT100 temperature probe.
PT100 Sensor Element: Element made of platinum. Changes resistance according to temperature.
Probe Body: Stainless steel or glass.
Lead Wires: PTFE, Copper and Nickel
Protection Tube: Glass, Stainless steel or Plastic (for Low-Temperature Applications)
Connectors: Insulated with materials like poly-amide (nylon) or PTFE (Teflon)
