Resistance Thermometers

What does a resistance thermometer do?

Resistance thermometers measure the temperature through the dependence of their electrical resistance on the temperature. Resistance thermometers are suitable for applications between -200 ... +600 °C (dependent on instrument model, sensor element, accuracy class etc.). Accuracy classes AA, A and B apply to all resistance thermometers. A particularly suitable metal for precise temperature measurement is platinum (Pt). Platinum resistance thermometers are precise sensors with the greatest linearity, through which the best reproducibility is achieved during production.

Advantages of platinum:

• • • High chemical resistance
    • Reproducibility
    • Long-term stability
    • Simple processing
