Resistance temperature detector
RTD
An RTD uses the predictable change in electrical resistance with temperature. The sensor can be built in different diameters, sheath materials and thermowell arrangements to suit the process.

Overview
A precise temperature sensor for plant service
An RTD uses the predictable change in electrical resistance with temperature. The sensor can be built in different diameters, sheath materials and thermowell arrangements to suit the process.
Sensors are supplied with or without thermowells. The thermowells are made from drilled bar stock or fabricated from tube or pipe with threaded or flanged connection, and the shank may be straight or tapered.
A thermocouple is the alternative where the temperature is higher than an RTD will reach. We build both.
Wide diameter range
From 1.5 mm up to 22 mm and beyond, depending on the process requirement.
Thermowell options
Drilled bar stock or fabricated from tube or pipe, with threaded or flanged connection.
Straight or tapered shank
Shank profile selected for the flow conditions and the insertion length.
