What is a Pt1000 Sensor - Reference Information
What is a Pt1000?
A Pt 1000 isa type of resistance temperature sensor, similar to Pt100s but made using a Platinum element with a resistance of 1000 ohms @ 0ºC and typically with a 385 ohm fundamental interval (change in resistance over the range 0 to 100ºC). Because they have an inherently higher resistance than that of Pt100 Sensors, they are especially suited for 2-wire applications where lead resistances become less of an issue due to the higher initial resistance of the element. They are are used for a wide variety of temperature measurement applications. All of our styles of Pt 100 Sensor are available with a Pt1000 element as well as Pt130.
Typical Pt1000 Sensors
Mineral InsulatedPt1000 Sensors
Our most popular style of Pt1000 sensor and ideal for most applications. Vast choice of terminations e.g. pot seals, cables, connectors, heads etc.
Rigid StemPt1000 Sensors
Ideal for rigid stem applications or where the sensor is shorter than 50mm, limited to 250°C. Wide choice of terminations
Hand HeldPt1000 Sensors
A range of hand held sensors to suit a variety of applications from general purpose to surface and air temperature measurements
Pt1000 Sensors forSurface Measurements
A wide range of sensors for surface measurements including self adhesive patch, pipe, magnetic etc.
