FAQ — RTD Temperature Sensor with Aluminum Connection Head

Q1: What is an RTD temperature sensor with an aluminum connection head?

A1: An RTD temperature sensor with an aluminum connection head combines a precision platinum sensing element (Pt100 or Pt1000) with a lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminum head for robust, industrial-grade installations.

Q2: What are the advantages of an aluminum connection head for industrial use?

A2: The aluminum connection head offers strong environmental protection at lower cost than stainless steel, secure M20 cable entry options, and easy mounting—making it ideal for many industrial temperature sensor applications.

Q3: Should I choose Pt100 or Pt1000 for my RTD?

A3: Choose Pt100 for wide industry compatibility and higher signal levels; choose Pt1000 for smaller wiring currents and some space-constrained designs. Both element types are supported in our RTD temperature sensor product family.

Q4: Can I get the RTD with an integrated 4-20mA transmitter?

A4: Yes—we offer RTD probes with optional integrated 4-20mA transmitters for direct connection to process control systems, simplifying installation and improving signal robustness over long cable runs.

Q5: What temperature range and accuracy can I expect?

A5: Typical RTD temperature sensors with aluminum heads cover -200°C to +600°C and are available in accuracy classes from 1/5 DIN to Class B, allowing you to match sensor precision to your application's needs.

Q6: Which wiring configuration should I use: 2-wire, 3-wire or 4-wire?

A6: Use 3-wire or 4-wire configurations for high-accuracy installations to minimize lead resistance errors; 2-wire can be acceptable for lower-precision or short-run applications.

Q7: How do I request a sample and calibration certificate?

A7: Request a free sample via our product page sample form and indicate if you need a NIST-traceable calibration certificate. We typically return sample confirmations within 48 hours.

Q8: Which industries commonly use RTD temperature sensors with aluminum heads?

A8: Typical applications include chemical processing, power generation, HVAC, food & beverage, and oil & gas—any environment needing reliable industrial temperature sensor measurements with good environmental protection and cost-effectiveness.
