Understanding the PT100 Sensor
Behind the Meiyo PTR-S is the PT100 sensor. “PT” is an abbreviation for Platinum, indicating the sensor’s resistive element material. “100” indicates that the sensor has a resistance of 100 ohms at 0°C. The PT100 sensor takes advantage of the fact that platinum’s electrical resistance varies in a predictable way with temperature. This linear relationship makes for extremely accurate measurement of temperature. When temperature goes up, the resistance of the platinum element also goes up, and this resistance change is measured and translated into an equivalent temperature reading. The PT100 sensor is noted for its linearity, stability, and broad temperature range, for which it is widely used in industry.
Features of the Meiyo Electric PTR-S
The Meiyo PTR-S resistance bulb is specifically intended to shield the fragile PT100 sensor and make integration into different systems easy. The most important features of this unit are:
Durable Structure: The PTR-S is usually placed inside a protective sheath, usually made of stainless steel, to keep the sensor away from aggressive environments. This durable structure ensures long life and reliability even in tough industrial environments.
Sheath Material and Diameters Variability: Diverse sheath materials (e.g., Inconel, stainless steel) and diameters enable tailoring according to individual application demands. This flexibility is ensured by allowing compatibility with wide-ranging process conditions and installation requirements.
Temperature Range: The Meiyo PTR-S, which uses a PT100 sensor, provides a broad temperature measurement range, usually between -200°C to 600°C (or more, depending on the model). This broad range suits a wide range of industrial applications.
Accuracy and Stability: PT100 sensors are known for their accuracy and stability. The Meiyo PTR-S takes advantage of these inherent characteristics to provide consistent and accurate temperature readings.
Multiple Connection Options: Meiyo PTR-S is offered in multiple connection options, including threaded fittings or flange mountings, to provide for convenient installation and integration with existing systems.
Customization Opportunities: Meiyo also provides customization opportunities for the PTR-S so that users can provide specifications for parameters such as sheath length, type of connection, and temperature range to suit their individual needs.
