- flameproof head PT100 RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) sensor is an RTD sensor that has a flameproof housing or head, and a sensing element made of platinum.
- Flameproof RTD sensors are designed to be used in hazardous or explosive environments where the presence of flammable gases, vapors, or dusts could cause an explosion. The flameproof housing is designed to contain any explosion that may occur within the housing, preventing it from igniting any surrounding flammable gases or vapors.
- The PT100 sensing element in the sensor is made of platinum and has a resistance of 100 ohms at 0 degrees Celsius. The resistance of the PT100 sensing element changes with temperature, allowing the sensor to accurately measure temperature changes.
- Overall, flameproof head PT100 RTD sensors are a reliable and safe way to measure temperature in hazardous or explosive environments, making them ideal for use in industries such as oil and gas, chemical, and mining.
