THERMOCOUPLES & RTDS-GUIDE
Thermocouples & RTDs - Description Guide
Thermocouples & RTDs are used in a variety of applications.
Thermocouples are the temperature sensor of choice primarily in plastics
extrusion, injection molding, thermoforming, blow molding and blown
film applications. The thermocouples favorable characteristics include
good inherent accuracy, suitability over a broad temperature range,
relatively fast thermal response, ruggedness, high reliability, low cost
and great versatility of application. Resistance Temperature Detectors
(RTDs) are commonly used in applications where accuracy and
repeatability are important. Platinum RTDs have very repeatable
resistance vs. temperature characteristics over time. RTDs are more
expensive than thermocouples and are not suitable in high vibration and
mechanical shock environments. At higher temperature conditions RTDs are
more stable than thermocouples.
