An RTD, or resistance temperature detector is based in the principal that the resistance of a conductor changes as its temperature changes. The RTD consists of a long length of fine coiled wire made from some pure material such as nickel, platinum or copper. The coil is in the form of a probe and may be encased in a protective sheath. The wire material has a known response - in how its resistance changes with temerature - and this known change is used to determine temperature.

What is the difference between thermocouple and RTD?
A thermocouple measures temperature difference between two points, producing a tiny voltage corresponding to the difference in temperature. To measure temperature with a thermocouple, you need to know the temperature of one junction and calculate the difference from the table or equation for the type of t/c used. An RTD changes resistance in response to temperature--to measure temperature with an RTD you measure its resistance (usually by putting a known voltage across it and measuring the current).
Resistance thermometer purpose of the device?
they are devices used to measure the temperature, applying the temperature to RTD element. they are sensory devices.
Which type of temperature senseing instrument you use in industry?
for temperature sensing i will suggest a RTD or A THermocouple. for temperature sensing i will suggest a RTD or A THermocouple.
What voltage does a Resistor temperature detector put out?
None. An RTD is a passive device. It changes resistance as the temp varies. Your circuit must basically measure the resistance to determine temp. There are many different types of RTD's, each with it's own temperature curve.
What is RTD temperature pobe stand ford?
Resistance Temperature Device
How the resistance value for the linear resistance can be changed?
Resistance can be changed by strain over time and changes in the temperature. Resistance thermometers are sensors that are used to measure temperature by correlating the resistance of the RTD elements.
How an rtd work?
RTD stands for resistance temperature difference.There are three types of RTD i.e 2 wire,3 wire and 4 wire.A PT-100 RTD is generally used in industry to determine temperature.It`s one end sense temperature and hence due to this resistance of metal changes.This change in resistance is calculated and temperature is calculated through a formula: R=r(1+@^t) where ^ = .03692

What is RTD sensor?
Resistance Temperature Difference. Used in thermocouple technology.
How can you check the rtd?
The RTD gives the temperature in resistance unit (Ohm), so you put the RTD in water with ice (0 C/32 F) and you take the reading in Ohm unit in your multimeter, then you put the RTD in boiling water and you take the reading in Ohm. Then you compare the readings according to the table for Temp vs. Resistance to check. It is important that water must be distilled, deionized. Tap water may give false readings as it has minerals. Instead of water test, you can you thermowell which are devices where you program the desired temperature for check RTD and thermocouples. Walter
How is thermal overload protection done in stator windings of motor?
one way is to use RTD sensor put inside the motor windings. The RTD sensor is connected to an electronic thermal overload relay. This type of relay can provide running temperature of the motor, on the electronic thermal over load relay display panel. RTD sensor is a wire wound resistor that changes resistance depending on the temperature
