Download PT100 Temperature Sensor User Manual

Welcome!
Thank you for choosing the PT100 Temperature Sensor.
This manual has been written to help you utilise all of the
functions of the PT100 Temperature Sensor. Please read this
manual thoroughly before use to help avoid any problems
and keep it handy when using the PT100 Temperature Sensor.
PT100 Temperature Sensor
The PT100 Temperature Sensor is used to monitor
temperature in concrete, rock and soil.
The sensor is ideal for monitoring temperature during
concrete curing, for evaluating seasonal variations within
ground and structures and to interpret temperature related
stress and volume changes in dams.
The PT100 Temperature Sensor consists of a platinum element
that changes resistance with temperature and the resulting
resistance change is converted to temperature using a
handheld readout or data acquisition system.
The element incorporates platinum as this is a superior,
chemically inert material that has the most stable resistance
over the largest temperature range. This allows for a more
predictable change in resistance with a higher degree of
accuracy and repeatability over a far wider temperature range.
PT100 Temperature Sensors provide high accuracy with low
drift, making them more suitable than Vibrating Wire and
Thermocouple sensors for precision applications.
