231-8497 RS PRO PT100 RTD Sensor, 40mm Long, 4 Wire, Class B +150°C Max

RS PRO PT100 RTD Sensor, 40mm Long, 4 Wire, Class B +150°C Max_x000D_ From RS Pro a high-quality and reliable Pt100 PRT (Platinum Resistance Thermometer) or RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector). This Pt100 RTD has a sensing element that is encased in silicone rubber patch so it can be used to measure the temperatures on surfaces. The 4 cores have a durable and flexible PFA outer jacket. This platinum resistance thermometer provides accurate and reliable temperature measurement for a wide range of applications._x000D_ What is an RTD?_x000D_ An RTD is a type of temperature sensor based on the correlation between metals and temperature. As the temperature of a metal increases so does its resistance to the flow of electricity. This resistance can be measured and converted to a temperature reading. In a Pt100 RTD, the ’Pt’ stands for platinum (platinum wire or film) and ’100’ means that the temperature sensor has a resistance of 100 Ohms at 0°C. Platinum is the most reliable metal due to its linear resistance to temperature relationship over a large temperature range._x000D_ What is a Pt100 Silicone Patch Sensor?_x000D_ A Pt100 silicone patch sensor is designed to measure the temperature on surfaces. The temperature sensor element is embedded inside a silicone patch. One side of this patch has a self-adhesive aluminium foil backing allowing the sensor to be stuck firmly in place. The other end of the sensor is terminated by 4 wire tails which are connected to the temperature measuring equipment._x000D_ Features and Benefits_x000D_ RTD sensor has silicone rubber patch with self-adhesive foil backing_x000D_ PFA insulated outer jacket_x000D_ Features Pt100 sensing element_x000D_ -50 °C to +150 °C temperature range_x000D_ Patch dimensions 40 mm x 15 mm x 5 mm_x000D_ Cable length 5 m_x000D_ Cable termination bare tails_x000D_ Number of wires 4_x000D_ Applications_x000D_ These Pt100 PRT silicone patch sensors with their compact and versatile design are most commonly used in pipe or surface measurement._x000D_ Why RS PRO?_x000D_ RS PRO is our own brand range and brings you a wide range of high-quality, great value products offering you more choice.
