The PT100 is a type of Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) that uses platinum to measure temperature and is known for its accuracy and stability. It is commonly used in high-precision applications like HVAC systems, automotive testing, and industrial automation.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
A PT100 Temperature Sensor is a type of Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) sensor with a platinum resistance element. It is the most common RTD sensor type, as it is the industry standard per IEC 60751. It has a resistance of 100 ohms at 0°C.
PT100 Temperature Sensors are known for their high accuracy and long-term stability for reliable measurements, as well as their wide temperature range (typically from -200°C to +850°C [-328°F to +1562°F] – depending on the application).
