Temperature Sensors - RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector)

Sensors and transducers are devices that are used to measure physical quantities, such as temperature, pressure, or light, and convert the measured quantity into an electrical signal that can be processed and analyzed by electronic systems. These devices are commonly used in a wide range of applications, including industrial automation, robotics, and scientific research. Temperature sensors are a type of sensor that is used to measure the temperature of an object or environment. These sensors are commonly used in a wide range of applications, including industrial process control, environmental monitoring, and consumer electronics. Resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) are a specific type of temperature sensor that uses the resistance of a conductor to measure temperature. RTDs are typically made of metals such as platinum, copper, or nickel, and their resistance increases as the temperature of the conductor increases. RTDs are commonly used in applications where high accuracy and stability are required, such as in industrial process control or in scientific research.
