Resistance Temperature Device. Resistance temperature devices (or detectors) rely on the principle that the resistance of a metal increases with temperature. When made of platinum, they may be known as platinum resistance thermometers (PRTs).
A temperature transducer that provides temperature information as the change in resistance of a metal wire element, often platinum, as a function of temperature.
( esistance ype evice): Any sensing device that varies resistance/current/voltage/ with temperature.
esistance emperature etector. An small assembly of special metals and alloys used for deriving process temperatures. The electrical resistance of the device changes over a temperature range, and generally in a non-linear manner. See Thermocouple.
A sensor that measures temperatures with a bridge measurement (a three- or four-wire half-bridge or a four-wire full-bridge). The sensor uses materials that have a variable resistance depending on the temperature of the surrounding area and on the length of the material.
A temperature sensing probe of finely wound platinum wire that displays a linear resistance increase for a corresponding temperature rise. A base resistance of 100 Ohms at 32°F is the industry (DIN) standard.
resistance thermal detector; type of sensor for measuring temperature
Resistance Temperature Detector. Typically a wire wound device that displays a linear change in resistance for a corresponding temperature change. An RTD has a positive temperature coefficient.
Abbreviation for Resistance Temperature Detector. It is a sensor which operates on the principle that the resistance increases with an increase in temperature at a specific rate. Commonly manufactured using a platinum resistance element. More accurate and more linear than most thermocouples and generally much more costly and slower responding.
Resistance Temperature Detector. A resistance device used to measure temperature.
Resistance Temperature Detector; a metallic probe that measures temperature based upon its coefficient of resistivity.
A temperature measurement device whose resistance is proportional to temperature. 2,3, and 4 wire RTDs are available.
Resistance Temperature Detector. A sensor probe that measures temperature based on changes in resistance.
Resistance Temperature Detector. A temperature–sensing device that changes resistance at a predetermined rate in response to changes in temperature.
The RTD is a finely wound temperature sensor whose resistance varies linearly and accurately with temperature. It is supplied in ribbon form with an adhesive back ready to apply to smooth or rough surfaces for sensitive, accurate temperature monitoring.
resistance Temperature Detector, a device used to measure temperature. An RTDâ€(tm)s element changes resistance in proportion to the change in temperature.
Resistance temperature device, a temperature measurement sensor that has predictable changes in resistance with a change in temperature.
An abbreviation for resistance temperature detector. It is a circuit element whose resistance increases with increasing temperature in a predictable manner. Platinum is the most popular material used in RTD's.
Resistance Temperature Detector. A resistor, usually made of platinum wire, that is affected by changes in temperature. Used for measuring temperature with a special resistance thermometer.
