Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD)
Sensors
Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) Sensors are constructed using
thin film technology. Thin film elements are made by depositing
platinum or nickel on a substrate and trimming to the desired
resistance. Ceramic elements are employed for cryogenic applications
and used with a mineral insulated sheath for high vibration
applications. Smart RTD sensors are available in platinum, nickel and
copper and with several different resistance to temperature coefficient
curves, including high accuracy RTD sensors.
