While thermocouples dominate temperature measurement, other components like heating cable and Pt100 sensors play vital roles in industrial control systems.
-
Self-regulating heating cable is a game-changer for freeze protection and process temperature maintenance. It adjusts its heat output based on ambient conditions, preventing overheating and saving energy—perfect for pipelines and roof de-icing.
-
Pt100 sensors, a type of resistance temperature detector (RTD), offer superior accuracy in moderate temperatures (-200°C to 600°C). They’re widely used in laboratories and HVAC systems where precision is non-negotiable.
On the material front, platinum components are irreplaceable. Platinum crucibles withstand chemical reactions in analytical labs, while platinum wire and platinum electrodes are essential in electrochemical processes and high-temperature sensors, thanks to their corrosion resistance and conductivity.
