PT100s are the most popular types of the platinum resistance temperature sensor elements. PT100 get their name from PT meaning platinum and 100 referring to the reference resistance ,meaning at 0°C the resistance is 100Ω. How does the PT100 Temperature Sensor Work? RTD PT100 Temperature sensors are made from platinum, this material accurately and predictably … Read more
Calculator to convert RTD resistance to Temperature and Temperature to Resistance. RTD’s Such as PT100’s and PT1000’s change resistance when they respond to temperature . As the Temperature increases so does the Resistance. This calculator quickly converts RTD Resistance to Temperature compared to thermistors RTD’s (PT100 and PT1000) are considered linear but in absolute terms … Read more
