temperature sensor

Product Description

Our range provides two alternative types of temperature sensors - Thermocouple or platinum resistance thermometer (PRT) General guidance for choosing between the two Thermocouples are cheaper, more versatile, less accurate, more rugged, more sensitive, have a wider operating range, are tip sensitive and can be smaller, Extension cabling is more expensive. Various calibrations are available for different applications. PRT assemblies are much more accurate and stable, permit greater resolution of measurement but over a more limited range, are stem sensitive, larger and more expensive. Extension cabling is by cheaper copper wires. but remember, the type of sensor must suit the associated instrumentation.
