Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD)

Resistance Temperature Detectors operate on the principle that the electrical resistance of a metal conductor changes as a function of temperature. RTDs provide an accurate, stable and repeatable means of absolute temperature measurement. The accuracy of an RTD is dependent upon the materials used in the construction of the sensor element, and the tolerance of the trimming process. Because of the wide operating range, overall accuracy, and high output level, these sensors are typically used where accuracy and stability are required.
