Reliable Pt100 Temperature Measurement for Industrial Processes
Pt100 sensors measure temperature through the predictable change in electrical resistance of a platinum sensing element. This established measurement principle is widely used in industrial temperature-control systems because it provides stable and repeatable temperature measurement over a broad operating range.
The four-wire configuration of the Carlo Gavazzi PT100180-5-3M allows compatible measuring equipment to compensate for resistance introduced by the connecting leads. Combined with its stainless-steel probe, silicone cable and -40 °C to +180 °C measurement range, the sensor is well suited to liquid temperature monitoring in heating and process-control equipment. A suitable screw-in thermowell can be used where the application requires the probe to be installed into a liquid process connection.
Typical Applications
- Industrial liquid temperature measurement.
- Heating and temperature-regulation systems.
- Process temperature monitoring.
- Water and liquid handling equipment.
- Industrial tanks and vessels.
- HVAC and building-services temperature control.
- Temperature controllers and monitoring equipment.
- Industrial machinery requiring Pt100 temperature feedback.
