What is RTD Pt100?
A PT100 is the most common type of Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD). The PT100 has a resistance of 100 Ohms at 0°C and 138.5 Ohms at 100°C. PT100s are a common choice for measuring temperature in industrial processes and laboratories. They are a popular choice due to their stability, accuracy and repeatability.

Are all Pt100 the same?
Pt100 sensors are available in different accuracy classes, the most common of which are AA, A, B and C which are defined in the IEC 60751 standard. Standards define a sort of ideal Pt100 sensor for the manufacturers to aim at.
What does 100 stand for in Pt100?
Platinum
Pt100 is a resistance temperature detector, made of material Platinum (= Pt_) and its resistance value at 0 °C temperature is 100 ohm (=_100). Hence the name is Pt100.
What are the different types of RTDs?
What types of RTDs are available? There are two main types of resistance temperature detectors, thin-film and wire-wound.
What are the types of PT100 sensor?
Kamet offers three types of Pt100 elements: thin film, ceramic wire wound & SMD sensors. Also Pt500 or Pt1000 RTD sensors are used.
How many types of RTD are there?

What is the difference between PT100 and PT1000?
The main difference between Pt100s and Pt1000s in general is the electrical resistance at 0⁰C, which is the number in the name: a Pt100 is 100Ω at 0⁰C and a Pt1000 is 1000Ω at ⁰C. This makes Pt1000s more accurate for small temperature changes as they would result in larger changes in resistance when compared to Pt100s.
What is the range of a Pt100 RTD?
PT100 platinum resistance thermometers. Platinum resistance thermometers (PRTs) offer excellent accuracy over a wide temperature range (from –200 to +850 °C). Standard sensors are are available from many manufacturers with various accuracy specifications and numerous packaging options to suit most applications.
