PTS120601B100RP100 Sensors, Transducers

Temperature Sensors RTDs (Resistance Temperature Detectors) have been used for several years to accurately measure temperature. The PTS120601B100RP100 RTD is an example of such a device, designed and manufactured by an accredited manufacturer to meet exacting standards. The design, workmanship and materials used in this RTD make it a robust and easy to use device, suitable for a variety of applications.

The PTS120601B100RP100 is a reliable straight-through current RTD type. It is suitable for measuring temperatures ranging from -50°C up to a maximum of 300°C (-58°F to 572°F), and is also certified to the accuracy class 2 standard according to IEC 60068-2-1:1972(E), meaning that it must provide measurements to within 1°C or 0.5°C at nominal temperature. It is also completely dustproof and waterproof, making it ideal for use in floors, ceilings and other overlooked or hard-to-reach places.

The working principle of the PTS120601B100RP100 is based on the resistance change that takes place when a metallic element is exposed to temperature. This RTD utilises a highly stable and accurate 100 Ohm Platinum-based resistance element, connected to a central terminal and two outer terminals. When current passes through the RTD, referred to as the ‘interrogation current,’ the resistance changes in response to temperature. This change in resistance is then used to calculate the temperature, with a margin of error of ±0.2°C. The PTS120601B100RP100 also has a built in amplifier which removes any need for external amplification, making it easier to install and use.

The PTS120601B100RP100 has a variety of potential applications. Its robust construction and waterproof and dustproof casing make it suitable for use in a variety of industries, including medical, automotive, process and food. Additionally, its built-in amplifier eliminates the need for external amplifiers, making it an excellent choice for applications in which space is limited, such as in HVAC systems and engine bays. The device is also compatible with most standard control systems, making it a convenient and versatile solution.

In summary, the PTS120601B100RP100 is a reliable, high quality and easy-to-use RTD, suitable for a variety of temperature sensing tasks. Its 100 Ohm Platinum based resistance element, coupled with a built in amplifier, makes it highly stable and accurate, while its waterproof and dustproof enclosure makes it suitable for use in a variety of environments. Its versatility and compatibility with multiple control systems make it an excellent choice for a variety of applications.
