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 old saying “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” cautions against tampering with something that performs reliably and regularly proves its worth. Arguably, this advice applies to the circuit design ...

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 ...

The nickel-thin-film RTD (resistance-temperature-detector) sensors provide a large change resistance in response to temperature changes at a lower cost than nickel wirewound RTD elements. The sensors ...

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 ...

Bourns, Inc. introduced its Riedon RTDW Series Resistance Temperature Sensors by Bourns. Designed to deliver precise ...

Adafruit has today announced the availability of a new PT1000 RTD Temperature Sensor Amplifier MAX31865, which is now available to purchase directly from the online Adafruit electronics store priced ...

Before running a formal test with multiple resistance temperature detector (RTD) sensors, it is often necessary to calibrate and debug a data-acquisition system to verify basic functionality. The ...

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 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 ...

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.
