Barton RTD assemblies are designed to provide accurate, stable temperature measurements based on the DIN 43760 platinum, 100 Ohm-base resistance element (0.00385 Ohm/Ohm/°C) element. (Other standards, base resistances and materials are available).
Platinum RTDs are considered a most stable temperature sensor between -200° C and 540° C.
They show almost no calibration drift with time and their stability, wide temperature range, near linear output and cost effectiveness make them a popular choice for the most demanding applications.
To ensure quick response and accurate readings, the RTD is tip sensitive with active measurement occurring in the first 25 mm (1-in.) of the probe assembly.
The inside of the SS sheath is filled with silica and sealed from contaminant's with high temperature epoxy.
