RESISTANCE TEMPERATURE DETECTORS

What is Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD)?
Generally, electrical resistance of any metallic conductor
varies according to temperature changes. The sensor for
measurement of temperature by utilizing this phenomenon
is called “Resistance Thermometer”or“RTD”and can
measure temperatures more precisely than other temperature
sensors.
Its Features
Resistance temperature detectors for industrial applications
have the following features.
1. Good sensitivity.
2. Excellent stability and reproducibility.
3. High accuracy.
Structure and Measuring Methods
Structure:
Metal wire that changes its electric resistance to changes in
temperature are utilized is called“Resistance Wire”. This
resistance wire, normally of platinum, is used to
manufacture a temperature sensor called“Resistance
Temperature Detector(RTD)Element”. Generally speaking,
RTD is composed of RTD element, lead wires, protection
tube and terminals.
Measuring Methods:
2-Wires Connection: Type W
RTD element is connected to respective two wire leads.
Although it is less expensive than other types, it is not
recommendable for high precision measurement of temper-
ature because it is susceptible to lead resistance and pro-
duces error.
3-Wires Connection: Type X
One end of RTD element is connected to two wire leads and
the other end connected to single lead to eliminate the effect
from lead resistance. This type is most widely used as a
reliable method in industrial applications.
4-Wires Connection: Type Y
RTD element is connected to respective two wire leads to
remove the effect from lead resistance. This connection
cancels lead resistance effect and is especially
recommendable for high precision measurement of
temperature but somewhat expensive than other types.
Precautions in Practical Applications
Selection of proper RTD suitable for the application is the most important factor. For precision measurement of
temperature, consideration should be given to selection of RTD element, protection tube, structure and fitting
(location) according to the respective resistance to heat, corrosion, mechanical shock and other environ- mental
conditions.

• As single or twin temperature sensor
• Standard nominal values and tolerances
• Also suitable for measurement in liquids
• Highly resistant shock and vibration
Glass sensors have a bifilar measurement winding on a glass carrier which is fused into the glass and
provided with connecting wires. After the platinum winding has been calibrated, a sleeve is pushed over the
glass carrier and both are then fused together. Since the measurement winding is fused into glass, these
sensors are particularly insensive to shock and vibration. They can also be used for direct measurement in
various liquids, without the need for a protective fitting. Versions with glass extension can be fabricated
into laboratory RTDs.
