Additional Details:

The RTD-880-100 OHMS utilizes a platinum sensing element, which exhibits a highly linear and repeatable resistance-temperature relationship. The 'PT100' designation indicates that the resistance of the platinum element is 100 Ohms at 0 degrees Celsius. The accuracy and stability of the platinum element make it a preferred choice for demanding temperature measurement applications. Depending on the specific configuration, the RTD-880-100 OHMS can operate over a wide temperature range, from cryogenic temperatures to several hundred degrees Celsius. The available probe configurations and lead wire options allow for flexibility in adapting the RTD to various application requirements. The use of 3-wire or 4-wire configurations minimizes the effects of lead wire resistance on the measurement accuracy, providing more reliable readings, especially over longer distances. Conformance to industry standards, such as IEC 60751, ensures that the RTD meets specified performance criteria and is compatible with standard RTD measurement instruments and systems.
