Models
Ready to use platinum RTD
capsules have insulated lead wires
welded and anchored internally.
No splicing to fragile elements
is required. This construction
assures reliable rugged
embedment, insertion or probe
assembly. Tip diameters from
0.086 to 0.125". Standard sensors
and encapsulation materials rated
up to 540°C (1000°F). Choose
the moisture resistant version for
condensing conditions.
