RTD PT100 Thermocouple

RTD PT100 and thermocouples are both temperature sensors used in various applications, but they operate on different principles. Here's a brief overview:

RTD PT100:

- Type Resistance Temperature Detector.

- Material Typically made of platinum.

- Resistance 100 ohms at 0C, changes with temperature.

- Accuracy High accuracy and stability.

- Temperature Range Generally from -200C to +850C.

- Applications Ideal for industrial processes, HVAC systems, and laboratory use.

Thermocouple:

- Type Temperature sensor made from two different metals joined at one end.

- Types Common types include Type K, J, T, and E.

- Output Produces a voltage that corresponds to temperature differences.

- Temperature Range Wide range depending on the type (e.g., Type K: -200C to +1260C).

- Applications Commonly used in ovens, kilns, and engines due to their fast response time.
