■ excellent stability, even with varying temperatures
Introduction
Platinum-ceramic temperature sensors use a ceramic tube as the housing base, in which
there are either two or four bores. Depending on the version to be produced, platinum
coils that have already been calibrated and fitted with connecting wires are inserted into
these bores. The remaining space in the bores is then filled with highly pure alumina
powder, to fix the coils and to improve heat transfer. Finally, both ends of the ceramic tube
are closed with a sealing compound that is fused on. This seals off the embedded
measurement winding and also relieves the strain on the connecting wires.
Platinum-ceramic temperature sensors are highly appreciated, mainly because of their
wide application temperature range. Depending on the version, the maximum range
covers temperatures from -200 to +800°C. In addition, the special internal construction of
these temperature sensors ensures excellent temperature stability and shock resistance.
A further advantage is the close adherence of the characteristic to the EN 60 751
standard, from which this style deviates only very slightly.
Platinum-ceramic temperature sensors are suitable for almost any application. The
comprehensive selection of sizes available from stock and the high accuracy of the
dimensional tolerances enable simple and universal processing.
Main application areas include industrial probes for elevated temperatures, and analytical
and laboratory technology.

PK style platinum-ceramic temperature sensors cover by far the widest temperature range
of all platinum temperature sensors. They are the preferred choice for measuring elevated
temperatures or for analytical and laboratory applications. Type H temperature sensors
are designed for operating temperatures from -200 to +600°C.
The special internal construction of these wirewound temperature sensors largely
prevents permanent changes in the resistance value, which may occur in other styles due
to significant temperature variations or shock-like temperature changes.
A large selection of different versions is available from JUMO ex-stock. Size, temperature
measurement range and tolerance class as well as the number of measurement windings
can be chosen as required. Only the nominal value is restricted to 100 ohms, because of
the special internal construction of platinum-ceramic temperature sensors in general.
