Resistance Temperature Detectors
Watlow manufactures a variety of resistance temperature detectors (RTD) sensors that are specially designed to ensure precise and repeatable temperature measurement. Watlow sensors are built to meet the most demanding industrial applications while providing a lower total cost of ownership for our customers.
- Strain-free construction provides dependable, accurate readings and allows elements from different lots to be substituted with no recalibration needed
- High signal-to-noise output increases accuracy of data transmission and permits greater distance between sensor and measuring equipment
- Temperature coefficient (alpha) carefully controlled while insulation resistance values exceed DIN-IEC- 51 standards ensures sensor sensitivity
- Designed to maintain accuracy over the life of the sensor improves process control
- High resistance reduces the chance for errors
- Interchangeable maintains good system repeatability
- Point sensitive senses temperature in a very specific location
- Submersible and 1200psi pressure wash rated seal protects the sensor from washdown or other extreme moisture environments
- Oil resistant materials ensure sensor maintains a long life even when exposed to oil, gasoline or diesel fuel
- Vibration resistant design withstands demands of the roughest applications
- 250psi threaded fitting pressure rating suitable for most rugged applications
