Temperature Specialists, Inc. - Product Announcements

Temperature sensors for process control or energy management can require the use of heavier duty assemblies that include thermowells, electrical connection heads and extensions between them to go through insulation around the process that is being measured. Thermowells are used to protect the temperature sensors from high pressures... (read more)

Thin Film Platinum Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTD) consist of a very thin layer of Platinum deposited onto an Aluminum Oxide ceramic substrate. The Platinum film is laser etched into a grid to form a resistive circuit and coated with a thin layer of glass. Larger lead wires are attached to the film and the attachment point is cemented in place with glass. (read more)

Hollow elements are designed for faster time response to temperature changes over the range of -100 to +260 degrees C. They are wire wound Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTD's) made using Copper, Nickel, Nickel-Iron and Platinum as the sensing materials. The wire is placed close to the outside diameter of the element and the center is left hollow. (read more)

Platinum wire wound Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTD) construction consists of very fine high purity Platinum wire wound onto a ceramic core and then hermetically sealed with a glassed coating. The wire used is 99.99% pure platinum which gives excellent mechanical and electrical stability, provides close interchangeability and very little drift with age. (read more)
