What is the difference between the Pt100 sensor and thermocouples?

0

There are several differences. Pt100 sensors are actually RTDs (resistance temperature detectors), which are usually more accurate than thermocouples, but generally have a smaller operating range. Thermocouples are usually cheaper, and measure temperatures as a function of voltage across the union of two dissimilar metals. RTDs are more stable, and measure temperatures as a function of the resistance of a particular metal at the temperature being measured. top 35. What is the difference between specific types of thermocouples (J, K, R, S, T)? All of the thermocouple types function in the same manner. The only real difference is in the construction and the temperature vs. voltage relationships. The construction of the thermocouple involves the use of two dissimilar metals. Depending on which metals are used, temperature ranges and accuracies (as well as cost) can vary greatly. top 36. What is full range (or active) cooling? What are its benefits? Full range cooling simply means that the
