What are Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTD) ?
Resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) are based on the principle that the electrical resistance of a metal increases as temperature increases a phenomenon known as thermal resistivity. Thus, a temperature measurement can be inferred by measuring the resistance of the RTD element. RTD’s are constructed of a resistive material with leads attached and usually placed into a protective ...
