PTC GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS Given their particular speed, size and strength, the thermistors (commonly referred to as “PTC”) are suitable for temperature-sensitive elements for measuring temperature. Available in various shapes, sizes and materials, the PTCs are applied in all those areas where the maximum operating temperature does not exceed 150 ° C (300 ° F). These [...]

THERMORESISTORS Resistance thermometers are thermal control devices with good linearity, possibility of use in a wide range of temperature, although less than the use of thermocouples (maximum temperatures of the order of 900 ° C). The only drawback is their low sensitivity. A theoretical outline The metal resistance thermometers, more commonly known as RTDs are [...]
