TECHNOLOGY

The process routinely involves 3 trades When choosing which temperature sensor to use there are many things to
to make a change – insulation handlers, consider. One very important decision is selecting the type of sensor that best

significant cost and downtime. accuracy. Below is a description of the characteristics of RTDs.
With United Electric Controls Heat Trace

RTDs are used to measure temperatures from -196°C to 500°C (-320°F to

932°F).

Here is a summary of some of the advantages and disadvantages of RTDs:

Advantages Disadvantages

Most Stable Slower Response Time

Most Accurate Current Source Required
More Linear than Thermocouples Self-heating
Better Repeatability Less Robust than Thermocouples
