The working principle of thermoresistances is based on the electrical resistance variation of a metal when exposed to temperature changes. From metal industry supplies, the most frequently used materials are platinum and nickel. Measurements based on thermoresistances are much more accurate and reliable than those performed with other types of sensors, such as thermocouples or thermistors. Normally, thermoresistances are identified using the scientific symbols of materials within their structure (Pt = platinum, Ni = nickel), followed by the rated electrical resistance of the assembly at reference temperature 0°C.
Operation temperature range of thermoresistances: -200°C ... 850°C.
They can be also delivered as ATEX design version, on demand.
APPLICATIONS
- mounting onto pipes, open reservoirs, closed tanks / containers / etc.
- used in a wide variety of working fluids, such as: vapours, gases, liquids, non-abrasive substances.
