19K views · 1K reactions | An #RTD is commonly used to measure temperature by passing a current through it and analyzing the resulting voltage. Its linear resistance-temperature relationship, especially exemplified by the Pt100 RTD, makes it a preferred choice for temperature measurement. This linear relationship allows for straightforward derivation of temperature from resistance, simplifying temperature measurement processes. #temperature_measurement | RealPars | Facebook

Examine the key components of an RTD: - Resistance or Sensing Element: This component is the temperature-detecting part of the RTD, often a metal wire made from materials like platinum, copper, or nickel. - Protecting Tubing: Typically constructed from stainless steel, providing protection in environments up to 500°F. - Process Connection: A standard fitting for integration. - Wire Configurations: RTDs come in various wire configurations, including 2, 3, and 4 wire setups, with the 3 wire RTD be
