Dual-Element Direct Lead Sheathed RTD Temperature Probes

Description

Dual sensing elements with direct lead connections

This dual-element RTD design places a sheathed sensing element directly in the measured medium. It has no fixed mounting device and uses direct leads. The cold-end joint is silver-copper welded and fitted with a buffer spring. Pt100 platinum or Cu50/Cu100 copper resistance elements are available for equipment temperature measurement.

Element, sheath and range choices

Sensor type Element Sheath material Diameter Range choices Accuracy or tolerance Measuring current limit
WZPK
Platinum RTD
Pt100 06Cr18Ni11Ti 3mm -200-250°C or -200-420°C Class A or B A: ≤2mA; B: ≤5mA
4mm, 5mm, 6mm or 8mm -200-420°C or 0-500°C
3YC-52 alloy 0-650°C
WZCK
Copper RTD
Cu50 or Cu100 06Cr18Ni11Ti 5mm, 6mm or 8mm -50-150°C ±(0.30+0.006t)°C ≤5mA

For the copper tolerance expression, t is the absolute temperature magnitude in °C.
