RCD’s Resistance Temperature Detectors are designed for tough
industrial applications, and are utilized to sense or regulate air (PTC) or
liquid (PTS) environments. Series PTC feature an all-welded wirewound
construction for increased durability under stress and vibration, and
exceptional stability. PTS probes are encased in a stainless steel sheath
and are available with WW or film elements.
ꢀ Inherent wirewound stability
ꢀ Resistance range: 1Ω to 1000Ω
ꢀ Tolerance available to ±0.1%
ꢀ Wide selection of TC’s (+3850 to +6720ppm)
ꢀ Excellent linearity and thermal response time

THERMAL RESPONSE (TIME CONSTANT) varies with different element sizes, resistance values, and wire alloy.
Typical time constant for PTC 150 PT 100 ohm is 2.2 seconds in water moving 3ft./sec. Consult factory for details.
SELF-HEATING is contingent upon resistance value, alloy, and element size. Typical self-heating for PTC 150 PT
100 ohm is 65 mW/°C in water moving at 3ft./sec. Consult factory for particular specifications.
NICKEL IRON
INTERCHANGEABILITY - The strain-free design of RCD sensors insures maximum repeatability. This characteristic
is degraded by lot-to-lot inconsistencies of the various wire alloys. Platinum being extremely consistant allows the
best interchangeability characteristics. Consult factory for specific data based on particular alloy and tolerance.

PLATINUM
SHOCK AND VIBRATION - PTC elements withstand 100 G’s sinewave shock for 3 cycles at 10 milliseconds, and
withstand vibration 10Hz to 2200Hz at 20 G’s.

RTD PROBES, TEMPERATURE RATING UP TO 500°C
Series PTC (wirewound) and PT (thin-film) RTD elements can be assembled
into stainless steel sheaths for severe environmental requirements. These
probes (PTS Series) are moistureproof and pressure tight and in many
instances may be directly inserted into process lines or thermowells for
precise temperature readings. Series PTS are available in any standard PTC
resistance value and temperature coefficient, in .125” [3.18], .187 [4.75],
.250 [6.35] diameters. Teflon insulated leads are standard (other insulations
available). 2-terminal, 3-terminal, or 4-terminal configurations available.
Probe lengths available from 0.5” [12.7] to 18” [457]. Consult factory for
list of standard probe styles including surface measurement,
flange mount, screw mount, etc.
