High temperature RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector)
elements are designed for the toughest industrial applications.
PTC sensors feature an all-welded construction for increased
durability under stress and vibration. Wirewound element results
in exceptional stability and uniformity . Series PTC elements can
be used to sense or regulate air environments and can be
assembled into immersion probes for liquid environments (refer to
PTS Series).

RTD PROBES
TEMPERATURE RATING UP T O 500°C PTC ceramic encased elements can be assembled into stainless steel
sheaths for severe environmental requirements. These probes (PTS
Series) are moistureproof and pressure tight and in many instances may
be directly inserted into process lines or thermowells for precise
temperature readings. Series PTS are available in any standard PTC
resistance value and temperature coefficient, in .125 [3.18], .187 [4.75],
.250 [6.35] diameters. Teflon insulated leads are standard. Other
insulations available for highest temperature requirements, 3-terminal, 4-
terminal configurations available. Probe lengths available from 0.5
[12.7] to 18 [457]. Consult factory for list of standard probe
styles including surface measurement, flange mount, screw
mount, etc.
FA specifications subject to change without notice
THERMAL RESPONSE (TIME CONSTANT) varies with different element sizes, resistance values, and wire alloy.
Typical time constant for PTC 150 PT 100 ohm is 2.2 seconds in water moving 3ft./sec. Consult factory for
particular specifications.
SELF-HEATING is contingent upon resistance value, alloy, and element size. Typical self-heating for PTC 150 PT
100 ohm is 65 mW/°C in water moving at 3ft./sec. Consult factory for particular specifications.
INTERCHANGEABILITY - The strain-free design of RCD sensors insures maximum repeatability. This characteris-
tic is degraded by lot-to-lot inconsistencies of the various wire alloys. Platinum being extremely consistant allows
the best interchangeability characteristics. Consult factory for specific data based on particular alloy and
tolerance.
SHOCK AND VIBRATION - PTC elements withstand 100 G’s sinewave shock for 3 cycles at 10 milliseconds,
and withstand vibration 10Hz to 2200Hz at 20 G’s.
