RTD Thermometers: Reading Temperature

Reading Temperature RTD, PRTD, PT100: What’s the Difference?   Let TEGAM Explain: An RTD is a Resistance Temperature Detector. Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTD) use the physical properties of metals where the resistance changes proportionally with temperature. This change is much more linear than a thermocouple. The resistance change is defined by the composition of the…
