Spring Loaded RTD Assembly with Screw Cover Head, 6in Long

Spring Loaded RTD Assembly with Screw Cover Head, 6in Long

Overview: The Spring Loaded RTD Assembly with Screw Cover Head is designed for precise and reliable temperature sensing in a wide range of industrial applications. Its robust construction and advanced sensing technology make it ideal for demanding environments where accuracy, repeatability, and durability are critical. This 6-inch long RTD assembly ensures hassle-free installation with a screw cover head and a sturdy process connection.

What is an RTD? Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs), also known as resistance thermometers, use metallic elements whose electrical resistance changes with temperature. These highly accurate and repeatable devices convert temperature variations into measurable electrical signals, providing precise temperature readings for process control and monitoring.

RTDs work by passing a small excitation current through the sensor element, measuring the voltage proportional to its resistance, and converting this measurement into temperature units. There are two primary types of RTD elements: wire-wound elements (constructed by winding a fine wire onto a ceramic or glass core) and thin-film elements (created by plating a film onto a substrate). Both types are sealed within a ceramic or glass capsule for protection and thermal integrity.

Key Features:

• Temperature Range: -200°C to 200°C (-328°F to 392°F)
• Process Connection: 1/2" NPT, made from durable 316 stainless steel for corrosion resistance
• Conduit Opening: 3/4" NPT for secure wiring and installation
• Element Construction: Available in single or dual-element configurations, with PT100 or PT1000 resistance options for various applications
• Protective Sheathing: RTDs are built with rugged sheathing to withstand harsh environments and ensure long-term performance.

Compensated Lead Wire Technology: Since RTDs typically have a low initial resistance (often 100 ohms at 0°C) and small resistance changes per unit of temperature, lead wire resistance can affect measurements. This assembly compensates for lead wire resistance with an integrated three- or four-wire bridge configuration, ensuring precise and stable readings.

Applications: This RTD assembly is versatile and suitable for a wide range of industrial processes, including:

• Chemical processing
• Food and beverage (with sanitary CIP configurations)
• Pharmaceutical manufacturing
• Oil and gas
• Power generation
• HVAC systems
