Ta-Pt100 / Ta-Pt1000 Temperature Sensor with Platinum Resistance
A Ta-Pt100/Ta-Pt1000 temperature sensor is a type of resistor-based thermistor that is used to measure temperature. The “Ta” in the name stands for “temperature sensor,” and the “Pt100” or “Pt1000” refers to the material used for the resistor element, which is platinum.
Pt100 and Pt1000 are two different types of platinum temperature sensors. The number indicates the resistance of the sensor at 0 °C, with Pt100 having a resistance of 100 ohms and Pt1000 having a resistance of 1000 ohms. These sensors are highly accurate and stable, and they are widely used in industrial and laboratory applications.
The sensor works by using the principle that the resistance of a metal changes with temperature. The resistance of the platinum element in a Pt100 or Pt1000 sensor changes linearly with temperature, which allows for accurate temperature measurements. The resistance change is small, but it can be measured with high precision using a specialized circuit known as a Wheatstone bridge.
One of the advantages of using a Pt100/Pt1000 sensor is that it can measure a wide range of temperatures. The sensor can measure temperatures from -40 to +80 °C, making it suitable for use in a variety of applications, including in industrial process control, HVAC, food processing, and laboratory research.
Additionally, these sensors are rugged and durable. They are constructed with a small diameter, allowing them to fit into tight spaces, and they can withstand high temperatures and pressure without affecting measurement accuracy. They are also resistant to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) which is important in certain critical application.
Another advantage of these sensors is that they are widely available and interchangeable, meaning that different manufacturers’ sensors can be used interchangeably in a system without any issues.
Overall, Ta-Pt100/Ta-Pt1000 temperature sensors are an extremely accurate and versatile temperature measurement option. They are widely used in industrial and laboratory applications due to their high accuracy, wide temperature range, and durability.
Our ambient temperature sensors come equipped with a stable Aluminium housing and a robust weatherproof cable. Thanks to the use of top-quality components the sensors achieve very high accuracy and are ideal for use in industrial and field (PV module temperature) environments. If required, the sensors can be ordered with an inspection certificate 3.1 as per DIN EN 10204.
Installation Instructions
If mounted outdoors, avoid direct exposure to sunlight and rain (if necessary, provide protection from the sun and rain). The through holes used to fix the sensor to a stable and suitable surface shall be accessible when the housing is opened. The tightening torque of the case cover is 180 Ncm.
