Introduction

The NB-PTCO-037 is a Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) that is used in temperature sensing applications. The sensor allows the user to measure temperature from -50°C to 350°C by measuring the changes in resistance across the temperature range. This device can also act as a temperature measuring probe for temperature control system deployments.

Temperature Ranges

The NB-PTCO-037 can measure both liquid and air temperatures in the range of -50 °C to 350 °C. The device also offers an internal temperature range of 0 °C to 125 °C to guarantee accurate results. The device also offers its users the ability to customize temperature ranges outside of the standard range.

Application Fields

The NB-PTCO-037 is used in a variety of temperature sensing applications. It is often used in industrial temperature measurement and control loops, like in industrial boilers, ovens, and food processing facilities. This device can also be used for temperature control in forced air systems like in cooling chambers, refrigeration systems, and other big-scale, controlled environments. Additionally, this device can be used for high temperatures measurements, such as in ovens, solar collectors, HVAC systems, and inside automotive engines.

Working Principle

The working principle behind the NB-PTCO-037 is simple. The device relies on the temperature-dependent resistance of metals to measure temperatures. The device operates on the principle that the resistance of a metal increases as the temperature of the metal decreases and decreases as the temperature of the metal increases. This works in the reverse in semiconductors. The NB-PTCO-037 is then designed to measure the temperature using the changes in resistance. Depending on the application, the device can be further customized to read different ranges and adjust itself accordingly.

Conclusion

The NB-PTCO-037 is a Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) that is used in a variety of temperature sensing applications. The device is used for measuring temperatures ranging from -50 °C to 350 °C. Applications include industrial temperature measurement and control loops, temperature control in forced air systems, and high temperature measurement applications. The device operates on changes in resistance of metal and is able to measure temperatures from relatively small ranges. The device can be further customized based on the application to read different ranges and adjust itself accordingly.
