RTDs
Watlow’s platinum resistance
elements are specially designed to
ensure precise and repeatable
temperature versus resistance
characteristics. The sensors are
made with controlled purity platinum,
have high purity ceramic components
and constructed in a unique strainfree manner.
Performance Capabilities
• Ceramic elements are extremely
precise and stable within the wide
temperature range of -200 to 650°C
(-328 to1200°F).
Features and Benefits
Patented, strain-free construction
• Provides dependable, accurate
readings
• Allows elements from different lots
to be substituted without
recalibration
High signal-to-noise output
• Increases accuracy of data
transmission
• Permits greater distances between
sensor and measuring equipment
Temperature coefficient (alpha)
carefully controlled while
insulation resistance values
exceed DIN-IEC-751 standards
• Ensures sensor sensitivity
• Minimizes self heating
• Allows precise measurement
• Repeatable
Highly controlled manufacturing
process
• Ensures wide temperature range
• Stabilizes physical and chemical
attributes
Metric diameters and fittings are
available, please consult factory
