Kjaerulf Pedersen 1 X Pt100 Temperature Sensor

What is a Pt100 Sensor?

A Pt100 sensor is an Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) that is manufactured using platinum (Pt) and provides a resistance of 100 ohms at 0°C. This specific sensor is renowned for accuracy, repeatability, and linearity over a very broad temperature range. It is among the most widely used industrial temperature sensors.

Kjaerulf Pedersen’s model enhances this proven technology to make it work for heavy-duty and mission-critical use.

Why Use Kjaerulf Pedersen?

Kjaerulf Pedersen is a well-respected brand in the industrial instrumentation business, particularly famous for their heavy-duty, Scandinavian-designed products. When they build a sensor, it is designed to withstand harsh conditions and provide pinpoint accuracy even when subjected to mechanical or thermal stress.

A few of the notable features of this particular sensor are:

• Platinum sensing element (Class A or B Pt100)
• Fast response time for rapid temperature measurement
• Durable stainless-steel housing
• Resistance to long-term drift
• Large temperature range (usually -50°C to +250°C or more)

Applications

The Kjaerulf Pedersen 1 x Pt100 Temperature Sensor is incredibly versatile and has a place in many industries:

Marine Industry
Mounted in engine rooms, control panels, or boiler systems where heat control is essential to safety and productivity.
