RTD Sensor Probes and Assemblies

Resistance temperature detectors, resistance thermometers, platinum resistance thermometers, or RTDs are sensors that measure temperature by means of resistance. RTDs are based on the principle that the electrical resistance of metals changes with temperature.

RTD Technical Information

The following material is general RTD information to assist and reference in the application of RTD’s to your process requirements.


RTD Sensor Probes

The RT series RTD sensor probes come in various styles unique to different applications. Each style consists of a RTD element protected by a sheath with a termination option.

Features:

  • Styles are customizable to almost any application.
  • Manufactured from high quality raw materials that meet industry recognized standards.
  • Fast lead time on styles that utilize standard Aircom materials.

Application: RTD sensor probes are used widely across almost any and every commercial and industrial temperature process control application.
