Pyromation Sensors
Resistance temperature detectors (RTD) accurately sense temperature with an excellent degree of repeatability and interchangeability of elements. The RTD is composed of certain metallic elements whose change in resistance is a function of temperature. In operation, a small excitation current is passed across the element, and the voltage, which is proportional to resistance, is then measured and converted to units of temperature calibration. The RTD element is manufactured by winding a wire (wire wound elements) or plating a film (thin film elements) on a ceramic or glass core and sealing the element within a ceramic or glass capsule.
Since most RTDs have a low initial resistance, often 100 ohms, and have a small change in resistance per unit of temperature range, the resistance of the lead wire is often compensated for with a three or four wire bridge configuration built into the measuring devices. By selecting the proper elements and protective sheathing, RTDs can operate in a temperature range of -328 to 1202 °F.
Pyromation manufactures RTDs for many industry applications. From single- or dual-element RTDs to PT100's to Sanitary CIP types, we have the right sensor for your job. If what you need is not available from our catalog, our product engineers will design an RTD for your specific application, including temperature sensor assemblies that require connection heads, thermowells and/or transmitters.

Miniature Temperature Sensors |
For Miniature Bearing and Babbitt Bearing Applications:
Pyromation's miniature sensors are designed to measure the critical temperature of the metal bearing shoes operating in generators, turbines and other rotating equipment. Monitoring the bearing temperature of rotating equipment is very important in preventing machine failures caused by the breakdown of the lubricating oil when it becomes too hot. Pyromation not only provides a cost-effective line of miniature sensors for these applications, they have experienced sales and engineering support available to assist you in finding the best way to measure temperature in your equipment. |
