RTDs or resistance temperature detectors work in a similar way to thermistors and measure ohmic resistance to measure temperature. They are connected to a circuit in a similar way to a thermistor but they have a much wider temperature range and can measure extreme temperatures. 4, record 1, English, - resistance%20temperature%20detector
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The RTD's resistance vs. temperature characteristics are stable, reproducible, and have a near linear positive temperature coefficient from -200 to 800 °C. 5, record 1, English, - resistance%20temperature%20detector
