PT100Elemente

PT100Elemente refers to the sensing element within a PT100 RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector). An RTD is a type of temperature sensor that measures temperature by how its electrical resistance changes with temperature. The "PT" in PT100 stands for platinum, and "100" signifies that its resistance is approximately 100 ohms at 0 degrees Celsius. The PT100 element itself is typically a coil or thin film of pure platinum wire or a platinum-deposited substrate. This platinum element is carefully manufactured to exhibit a predictable and repeatable change in resistance as its temperature varies. The accuracy and stability of the PT100 temperature measurement are directly dependent on the quality and construction of this platinum sensing element. These elements are often encased in protective sheaths to shield them from the environment while allowing efficient heat transfer for accurate temperature readings. PT100 elements are widely used in industrial applications, scientific research, and laboratory settings due to their excellent linearity, stability, and wide temperature range.
