Resistance Temperature Sensing

Product catalog summary
Overview
Watlow manufactures a range of Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs) designed for precise and repeatable temperature measurement in demanding industrial applications. These sensors offer a lower total cost of ownership and are built to meet high standards of performance.
Features and Benefits
  • Strain-free construction: Ensures accurate readings and allows for element substitution without recalibration.
  • High signal-to-noise output: Enhances data transmission accuracy and allows greater distances between sensor and equipment.
  • Controlled temperature coefficient: Exceeds DIN-IEC-751 standards, ensuring sensitivity and minimizing self-heating.
Performance Capabilities
  • Operates precisely within a temperature range of -328 to 1200°F (-200 to 650°C).
Typical Applications
  • Food equipment, textile production, plastics processing, petrochemical processing, and semiconductor processing.
  • Air, gas, liquid, and exhaust gas temperature measurement.
Product Styles
  • Style RB: Standard insulated leads with quick response and high accuracy, suitable for temperatures from -50 to 260°C (-58 to 500°F).
  • Style RC: Durable connectors for plug or jack termination, with a temperature rating of 200°C (400°F).
  • Style RF: Flexible, mineral-insulated sensors with a temperature range of -200 to 650°C (-328 to 1200°F).
  • Style RT: Thermowells and pipe wells for sensor protection, available with spring-loading and various connection heads.
  • Style RR: Connection heads offering dust and moisture resistance, available in single and double threaded fittings.
  • Style RW: Washer terminal for surface temperature measurement, rated from -50 to 260°C (-25 to 500°F).
Specialty Construction Styles
  • Adjustable spring and armor styles for flexible installation.
  • Flanged thermocouples for rapid assembly and low profile.
  • Aspirated tube design for fast response time.
