A. Product Overview

A Pt100 RTD sensor with adjustable compression fitting is a reliable temperature sensor used for precise temperature measurement in industrial and process applications. It uses a platinum sensing element to detect temperature changes and provides stable, accurate and repeatable readings.

The adjustable compression fitting makes the sensor easy to install at the required insertion depth. It can be fitted into pipes, tanks, vessels, machinery or other equipment where temperature monitoring is required. This design is especially useful when the sensor position needs to be adjusted according to the process requirement.

Pt100 RTD sensors are widely used because they offer better accuracy and long-term stability compared to many basic temperature sensors. The compression fitting provides mechanical support and helps hold the sensor firmly at the measurement point.

B. Working Principle

The Pt100 RTD sensor works on the principle that the electrical resistance of platinum changes with temperature. In a Pt100 sensor, the resistance is 100 ohms at 0 degree Celsius. As the temperature increases, the resistance of the platinum element also increases in a predictable manner.

This resistance change is measured by a temperature indicator, controller, transmitter or PLC system and converted into a temperature reading. Because platinum has a stable and repeatable resistance-temperature relationship, Pt100 RTD sensors are suitable for accurate industrial temperature measurement.

The adjustable compression fitting allows the sensor probe to be inserted into the process at the required depth. Once the correct position is achieved, the fitting is tightened to hold the sensor securely in place.

C. Why It Is Used

A Pt100 RTD sensor with adjustable compression fitting is used when accurate temperature monitoring is required along with flexible installation. It helps users measure temperature in different process points without needing fixed-length or permanently mounted sensors.

It is used for:

• Accurate temperature measurement in industrial processes
