Resistance thermometers are widely used in various industrial processes covering a temperature range from -200°C up to +850°C. They are preferred particularly at lower temperatures, where they provide much higher accuracy and stability compared to thermocouples.
Standard types are suitable up to 500°C, while special designs are used between 500°C and 850°C. The maximum operating temperatures specified in the catalog apply to clean air conditions free from harmful gases. In more aggressive or corrosive environments, the service life of resistance thermometers will be reduced accordingly.
Typical applications of resistance thermometers:
• Tanks, pipelines, and machine housings
• Gaseous and liquid media (such as air, steam, gas, water, or oil)
• Low- and high-pressure systems
• Surface temperature measurements
