What the PT100 is?

A PT100 is a resistor; more precisely said it's a PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient), which means that it's resistance ascends with it's Temperature. The term "PT100" is used because PT100 are made out of Platinum (symbol: Pt)and it's resistance is 100Ω at a Temperature of 0°C or 273,15K. Because of this feature they are used as sensors by measuring the Ω and determine the consequent Temperature.


What is difference between 3 wire and 4 wire RTD sensor?

An RTD or Pt100 sensor is connected with two, three or four wires to the measuring device.we learned that we are in fact measuring resistance to determine the temperature. Now when measuring the resistance of the sensing element, we also measure the resistance of the leads and cables used. This gives an error! To compensate for this, the three wire type (bridge) is used, giving enough accuracy in most industrial applications. Even better accuracy is possible with a four wire Pt100 (laboratory applications). Our Pt100 panel mounted indicators have an offset compensation when using two wire sensors.


How do you check if RTD pt100 is working properly?

To check if RTD PT100 is working properly you need to check and make sure all the wires are connected. Take several readings and if they are the same, it is working properly.


What is deferant between pt100 and pt1000?

The Pt 1000 sensor is the "big brother" of the Pt 100 sensor. Its nominal resistance at 0°Cis 1000 Ω. Resistance values of the whole series are higher by a factor of 10. The sensor is used in the same way as the Pt 100 sensor. Its dimensions are slightly larger (4 x 5 uninsulated). Thermostats and sensors for Pt 1000 on request.


What does p stand for on Taurus pt100p?

The 'P' stands for "PLUS". The PT100P (or "PT100 Plus") model has an expanded magazine capacity. Its magazines hold 16 rounds of .40 S&W, while the original regular PT100 magazines only hold 11 rounds. The magazines for the two models are not compatible with each other. The PT100P 16-round magazines are wider than the older PT100 11-round mags.
