From RS PRO, comes a range of high quality platinum probes. With its robust construction, these probes are an excellent solution for temperature measurement.

A complete range of platinum probes, comprised of a ceramic substrate coated in platinum, glass protection and platinum-coated nickel output wire.
Applications: heating and air conditioning, energy splitter controls, automotive technology, household appliances, standalone thermometers, etc.

These platinum resistance temperature probes have a variety of application use such as;

• Heating


• Air conditioning


• Stoves and grills


• Food processing


• Energy

PT100 and pt10000 sensors are considered the most rugged and common form of a RTD (resistance temperature detector) and have a resistance of 100 ohms Ω) whilst the PT1000 have a resistance of 1000Ω. PT500 are a rare type of PRT and have a resistance of 500Ω.

Platinum resistance thermometers work by measuring accurate changes in electrical resistance when the temperature changes. The resistance is measured by when a current is passed through it and the voltage is measured using a suitable voltmeter. The voltage reading is then converted into temperature with the aid of calibration equipment.
