Resistance thermometers, also called resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), are sensors used to measure temperature.
Many RTD elements consist of a length of fine wire wrapped around a ceramic or glass core but other constructions are also used. The RTD wire is a pure material, typically platinum, nickel, or copper.
The material has an accurate resistance/temperature relationship which is used to provide an indication of temperature. As RTD elements are fragile, they are often housed in protective probes.
RTDs, which have higher accuracy and repeatability, are slowly replacing thermocouples in industrial applications below 600 °C.
PT100 platinum resistance thermometers. Platinum resistance thermometers (PRTs) offer excellent accuracy over a wide temperature range (from –200 to +500 °C). ... For precision work, sensors have four wires- two to carry the sense current, and two to measure the voltage across the sensor element.
