Introduction
Platinum-glass temperature sensors belong to the category of wirewound constructions.
One or two measurement windings are wound on a glass rod, each in the form of a bifilar
winding. The winding is fused onto the glass and provided with connecting wires. The
nominal resistance is calibrated by altering the winding length. Afterwards, a sleeve is
pushed over the glass rod plus measurement winding and the components are then fused
together. The glass material used is matched to the expansion coefficient of the platinum
wire as far as possible. An additional artificial ageing process ensures that good long-term
stability is achieved. The operating temperature covers the range from -200 to +400°C.
JUMO platinum-glass temperature sensors are distinguished by a design that is extremely
resistant to shock and vibration. Furthermore, the connecting wires exhibit a very high
tensile strength. Another advantage of this style is that the temperature sensors can
readily be used for measurements in highly humid environments or directly in the liquid,
thanks to the hermetic sealing of the measurement winding and the excellent chemical
resistance of the glass. In addition, the familiar protection tube - a necessary component
with other styles - can now be dispensed with, allowing short response times.
A wide variety of platinum-glass temperature sensors with single or double windings and
standard nominal values to EN 60 751 are available from JUMO ex-stock.
Customized versions or laboratory resistance thermometers can be supplied on request
(see Data Sheet 90.6024).

This revised edition takes account of altered
standards and recent developments. The
new chapter “Measurement uncertainty”
incorporates the basic concept of the
internationally recognized ISO guideline
“Guide to the expression of uncertainty in
measurement” (abbreviated: GUM).
In addition, the chapter on explosion
protection for thermometers has been
updated in view of the European Directive
94/9/EC, which has been in force since 1st
July 2003.

PG style platinum-glass temperature sensors are distinguished by their rugged
construction. The wire winding that has been fused into the glass ensures that JUMO
glass temperature sensors are generally extremely resistant to shock and vibration.
Furthermore, the connecting wires exhibit a very high tensile strength.
Platinum-glass temperature sensors also allow problem-free measurement in highly
humid environments, or even directly in various liquids.
Special miniaturized versions with small dimensions and fast response times round off the
product range to cover a variety of applications.
These temperature sensors are frequently used in analytical and laboratory technology as
well as in HVAC engineering, and for industrial humidity measurement.

PGL style platinum-glass temperature sensors are of a similar rugged construction to the
standard PG form. These temperature sensors, too, are distinguished by their excellent
resistance to shock and vibration, as a result of the wire winding being fused onto the
glass. In addition, the connecting wires exhibit a very high tensile strength.
Compared with the standard PG style, PGL style temperature sensors have an additional
glass neck, which, for example, allows for a better insulation of the connecting wires for
further processing. Furthermore, the glass neck enables glass extensions to be fitted at a
later stage and fabrication into laboratory resistance thermometers.
