Resistance thermometers
Resistance thermometers, also called resistance temperature detectors (‘RTD’s).
Sensor with good linearity.
Pt-100 , Pt is the symbol for Platinum, 100 for the resistance in ohm at 0°C
.
Thermistor
A thermistor is a type of resistor whose resistance vary significantly with temperature
=> good sensivity
NTC – Negative Temperature Coefficient Resistors
PTC – Positive Temperature Coefficient Resistors
.
Thermocouple
Produce a voltage => do not need external supply.
Excellent repeatability.
