Resistance Temperature Detectors

Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTD) are sensors for indicators, recorders and / or controllers.  The sensor is a wire would element of copper, nickel or platinum.  A temperature change causes a linear resistance change throughout the range of the sensor.  Accuracy of .25% and .10% sensors are offered.  A three wire system is commonly used to minimize offsets due to extension lead wire lengths and temperatures.  On a two wire system a 25 foot copper extension wire causes a small offset.
