Resistance thermometers

Resistance thermometers, also called resistance temperature detectors (‘RTD’s), are sensors used to measure temperature by correlating the resistance of the RTD element with temperature. Most RTD elements consist of a length of fine coiled wire wrapped around a ceramic or glass core. The element is usually quite fragile, so it is often placed inside a sheathed probe to protect it. The RTD element is made from a pure material, typically platinum, nickel or copper. The material has a predictable change in resistance as the temperature changes; it is this predictable change that is used to determine temperature.

They are slowly replacing the use of thermocouples in many industrial applications below 600 °C, due to higher accuracy and repeatability.


Our purpose is to correctly identify needed items and have them delivered on time at maximum value. We routinely handle this by direct contact with our customers, maintenance operations, production, engineering and/or purchasing. If in doubt as to our scope of supply, please contact us via our online form or call us at (800) 446-4316.
