    Resistance thermometers (RTDs) measure temperature by detecting changes in the electrical resistance of metal conductors as their temperature varies. RTDs use platinum wire coils that have high resistivity and a linear relationship between resistance and temperature. An RTD connected to a Wheatstone bridge circuit can precisely detect small resistance changes and provide accurate temperature readings. While expensive, platinum RTDs offer high accuracy, repeatability, and stability over a wide temperature range.

    WHAT IS RESISTANCE
    THERMOMETER ?
     Resistance Thermometer is a device that is used to determine
    temperature by the variation in the resistance of a conductor.
     It is commonly known as Resistance Temperature
    Detector(RTD) and is an accurate temperature sensor.
     RTD is not used for dynamic temperature measurement.
    CHARACTERISTISTICS &
    REQUIREMENTS
     Resistive device : linear
     Large range: -200 to + 650 C for Platinum
     High accuracy:+ 0.001C
     Low Senstivity :0.39% per C
     Don’t need reference temperature

    REQUIREMENTS :
     High temperature coefficient
     High resistivity to ensure small wire length
     Linearity of relation between resistance and temperature
     Sufficient mechanical strength
     Stability of electrical characteristics
    WORKING PRINCIPLE OF RTD

     RTD measures temperature using the principle that the resistance of a metal
    changes with temperature.
     The Variation of resistance R with temperature T(k) can be represented by the
    following relationship for most of the metal as:
    CONSTRUCTION:

     RTDs have sensing elements made of metal , typically


    platinum.
     The construction is typically such that the wire is wound on
    a form(in a coil) to achieve small size and improve thermal
    conductivity to decrease response time (1 to 7 seconds)
     In many cases,the coil is protected from the environment by
    a sheath or protective tube maybe glass or stainless steel or
    that inevitably increases response time but may be
    necessary in hostile environment.
     RTDs are either a metal film deposited on a
    former or a wire-wound resistors.
     The
    device are then sealed in glassceramic
    composite material.
     Theelectrical resistance of pure metals is
    positive,increasing linearly with
    temperature.
     An RTD is usually connected into a Wheatstone bridge circuit, as shown .
     This allows for detection of very small changes in the resistance of sensing
    element,and the meter(M) used to measure the bridge unbalance voltage can be
    calibrated to indicate temperature.
    MATERIALS USED IN RTD :

     Gold & Silver : rarely used because of low resistivity.


     Tungsten :very high resistivity(rarely used)
     Balco : nickel-iron alloy with thermal conductivity similar to
    nickel but twice the resistivity(rarely used)
     PLATINUM : more suitable but very expensive,high range,
    high precision ,more accurate.
     Nickel and Copper : most used,cheaper than platinum
    APPLICATIONS

     In automative industry
     In communication and instrumentation
     In consumer electronics
     In industrial electronics
     In medical electronics
     Industriesand laboratories where high accuracy of
    temperature measurements are required
    ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES

    ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
    • Most stable over time • High cost
    • Most accurate • Slowest response time
    • Low sensitivity to small temperature change
    • Most repeatable temperature
    measurement • Sensitive to vibration
    • Decalibration if used beyond sensors temperature
    • Very resistant to contamination ratings
    • Corrosion of the RTD element • Somewhat fragile
