RTDs
Field-Cuttable Thermocouples
RTDs are popular for high-accuracy temperature measurement
NI field-cuttable thermocouples suit a wide variety of temperature
applications. With field-cuttable thermocouples, you can cut the
metal sheathed probe to the desired length – from 8.9 to 61 cm
(3.5 to 24 in.)
applications. NI offers 3-wire, 100 Ω platinum RTDs that conform to
the DIN 43760-1980 (European) standard curve (a = 0.00385).
These RTDs are available as field-cuttable metal sheathed probes and
ready-made element configurations.
Ready-Made Thermocouples
Field-Cuttable RTDs
For cost-sensitive applications, NI offers ready-made thermocouples –
individual packets of thermocouple wire with the measuring junction
provided at one end. Ready-made thermocouples are ideal for starter
or educational applications.
NI field-cuttable RTDs are ideal for a wide variety of temperature
applications. With field-cuttable RTDs, you can cut the metal sheathed
probe to the desired length – from 8.9 to 61 cm (3.5 to 24 in.).
Ready-Made RTDs
Thermocouple and Extension Wire
Ready-made RTDs offer solutions for cost-sensitive temperature
measurement applications. Each RTD element is sealed in an
Alumina tube, with three Teflon-coated leads, and can measure up
to 204 °C (400 °F).
For large-scale or custom temperature measurement applications,
NI offers spools of thermocouple and extension wire. You are
responsible for making the thermocouple junction.
