All rights 1996 Application Note 046 Measuring Temperature withRTDs A TutorialIntroductionA resistance- Temperature detector (RTD) is atemperature sensing device whose resistance increaseswith Temperature . An RTD consists of a wire coil ordeposited film of pure metal. RTDs can be made ofdifferent metals and have different resistances, but themost popular RTD is platinum and has a nominalresistance of 100 at 0 are known for their excellent accuracy over awide Temperature range.
where R100 is the resistance of the RTD at 100°ÊC, and R0 is the resistance of the RTD at 0°ÊC. For example, a 100ÊΩ platinum RTD with α = 0.003911 will measure 139.11ÊΩ at 100°ÊC. Figure 1 displays a typical resistance-temperature curve for a 100ÊΩ platinum RTD.-300 0 300 600 900 0 100 200 300-100 400 Temperature (˚C) Resistance ...
