Resistance Temperature Detectors RTD
From Acrolab Ltd.
 

 
ACROLAB RTD assemblies utilize wire wound platinum elements with a reference resistance of 100 Ohms at 0 C and a temperature coefficient of 0.00385 Ohms/Ohm/C degrees. ALL Acrolab RTD probes are of the "filled tube" or "MGO" construction, providing long operating life in high vibration and/or temperature applications. Element types: Single platinum elements of 100 Ohms at 0 degrees C and duplex elements of two 100-Ohm elements inside the same sheath are both available as standard. Elements of other resistive materials such as copper and nickel are available upon request.

Products & Services
RTD (resistive temperature device) elements are wire windings or other thin-film serpentines that exhibit changes in resistance with changes in temperature.
RTD temperature probes convert the RTD resistance measurement to a current signal, eliminating the problems inherent in RTD signal transmission via lead resistance. 
Resistance temperature detector (RTD) temperature transmitters convert RTD resistance measurements to current signals, eliminating the problems inherent in RTD signal transmission via lead resistance.
Thermocouple simulators and resistance temperature detector (RTD) simulators provide precise standard values of resistance or voltage for simulation and calibration.
Temperature instruments use contact or noncontact methods to measure temperature. Products include dial, digital, industrial and laboratory thermometers; temperature probes, indicators, and sensors; RTD elements and transmitters; and thermistors, thermocouples, thermopiles, and thermal switches.
