Resistance Temperature Detectors RTDs

An RTD, or Resistance Temperature Detector, is a temperature sensor that measures temperature by monitoring changes in the electrical resistance of a metal. While RTDs are most commonly made from platinum, they can also use materials like nickel or copper. They provide more accurate and stable readings compared to other sensors, making them ideal for industrial applications where precise temperature control is essential for quality and process management.

When selecting an RTD, important factors to consider include the temperature range needed, the desired accuracy, and the type of metal used in the sensor. Other key considerations are the RTD's wiring configuration (2-wire, 3-wire, or 4-wire), its physical construction, and how well it can withstand the environment where it will be used
