Questions and answers about how RTDs measure temperature changes by tracking the variation in electrical resistance in metal wires. The resistance values of the metal wires are known, so resistance value changes are an accurate proxy for temperature changes. A …
The process engineers at a major chemical manufacturer were stumped. They were regularly getting very poor response times from their process temperature sensors and simply could not figure out why. The response times to temperature changes were consistently close to 30 …
The electrical resistance of some materials, such as platinum, copper, and nickel, differs at different temperatures. Resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) take advantage of this property to assess temperature in a variety of commercial and industrial applications. …
RTDs (resistance temperature detectors) are the most common, most versatile temperature sensors in industrial and process applications. They are stable, have good repeatability and work well within a wide range of temperatures. The electrical resistance of some …
Tractors, harvesters, combines, bulldozers, excavators, drilling machines, crushers, forklifts, and other mobile machines typically work under very harsh conditions. Monitoring the temperature of their systems helps to ensure lasting performance and minimal downtime. …
