Designing an analog circuit can be a frustrating experience, as noted by Nick Cornford in his Design Idea (DI), “DIY RTD for a DMM.” With a fortnight’s struggle, I completed the design of 4 mA to 20mA ...

An RTD (resistance temperature detector) is a temperature sensor that operates on the measurement principle that a material’s electrical resistance changes with temperature. The relationship between ...

The vendor’s ProSense line of process sensors now includes 0.25-inch RTD temperature probes. The three-wire, 100 ohm platinum RTD probes are made of durable 316 stainless steel and measure ...

Calibration labs that calibrate high-temperature probes can use the Hart Scientific Model 5624, a 10-ohm platinum resistance thermometer (PRT). The probe's sensor design makes it a suitable standard ...

This article discusses the history and design challenges for designing a resistance temperature detector (RTD)-based temperature measurementsystem. It also covers RTD selection and configuration trade ...

The self-calibration process functions in situ and provides the necessary documentation to meet the conformance requirements of regulatory agencies. It eliminates the risk of an undetected calibration ...

Palmer-Wahl Instrumentation Group has introduced a new series of Italcoppie-brand RTD probes that the company says offer long-lasting, accurate temperature measuring in harsh operating conditions and ...

In this first article in a two-part series, we discuss resistance temperature detector (RTD) circuit design for a functionally safe system and introduce considerations for the Route 2S component ...

The UWRTD-NB9W wireless RTD probe/ transmitter assembly features a stainless steel probe connected to a polypropylene watertight transmitter housing. The assembly is shipped ready to install and ...

Traditionally, resistance-temperature-detector (RTD) sensor resistance is measured by applying a precision current source and measuring the developed voltage. This approach usually requires a ...

The latest addition to the range of temperature sensing products from sensing and instrumentation specialists BAUMER is the TER8, a compact sensor based on RTD (Resistance Temperature Detection) ...

Temperature is one of the most widely measured parameters in a power plant. No matter the type of plant, accurate and reliable temperature measurement is essential for operational excellence.
