Temperature sensor is a device that is designed to measure the degree of hotness or coolness in an object. The working of a temperature meter depends upon the voltage across the diode. The temperature change is directly proportional to the diode’s resistance. The cooler the temperature, lesser will be the resistance, and vice-versa.
PT100 Sensor are constructed in a number of forms and offer greater stability, accuracy and repeatability in some cases than thermocouples.
The advantages of platinum resistance thermometers include:
- High accuracy
- Low drift
- Wide operating range
- Suitability for precision applications.
