Product Overview
The Platinum Resistance Thermometer is a high-accuracy temperature measurement device designed for precision-critical applications. Engineered with a pure platinum sensing element, it delivers exceptional stability and repeatability across a wide temperature range. The Class A grade ensures compliance with international standards, making it ideal for calibration laboratories, research facilities, and industrial quality control. Its robust construction provides long-term reliability, while the resistance-based measurement principle eliminates the need for frequent recalibration. The thermometer’s low thermal mass allows for rapid response to temperature changes, ensuring real-time accuracy in dynamic environments. Its compatibility with standard resistance measurement instruments makes integration seamless. The device’s inherent linearity and minimal drift over time reduce measurement uncertainty, while its chemical inertness ensures performance stability even in harsh conditions. This thermometer represents the gold standard for temperature measurement where precision cannot be compromised.
FAQs
1. What temperature range does this platinum resistance thermometer cover?
This thermometer typically covers a range from -200°C to 600°C, though exact specifications may vary by model. Always check the individual product specifications for precise range information.
2. How does this compare to standard mercury thermometers in terms of accuracy?
Platinum resistance thermometers offer significantly higher accuracy than mercury thermometers, with Class A models providing precision within ±0.15°C at 0°C, compared to ±1°C for typical mercury thermometers.
3. Can this be used with standard laboratory data loggers?
Yes, most platinum resistance thermometers are compatible with standard laboratory data loggers that support resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) with 100Ω nominal resistance at 0°C.
4. What maintenance is required to ensure long-term accuracy?
Regular cleaning of the sensor with isopropyl alcohol and periodic verification against a reference thermometer are recommended. Avoid mechanical shocks and store in a clean, dry environment when not in use.
5. Is this thermometer suitable for use in vacuum environments?
Yes, platinum resistance thermometers can be used in vacuum environments as they don’t rely on fluid expansion. However, ensure the specific model is rated for vacuum applications as some protective sheaths may have limitations.
