What is the difference between PT100 thermal resistance and armored thermal resistance temperature instruments?

Industrial thermal resistors generally use Pt100, Pt10, Cu50, Cu100. The temperature measurement range of platinum thermal resistors is generally minus 200-800℃, and that of copper thermal resistors is minus 40 to 140℃. Pt100 is a platinum thermal resistor, and its resistance is proportional to the change in temperature. The relationship between the resistance and temperature change of PT100 is: when the temperature of PT100 is 0℃, its resistance is 100 ohms, and at 100℃, its resistance is about 138.5 ohms. Its industrial principle: when PT100 is at 0 degrees Celsius, its resistance is 100 ohms, and its resistance will increase at a uniform rate as the temperature rises. Pt100 platinum thermal resistors are widely used in high-precision temperature equipment such as medical, motor, industry, temperature calculation, resistance calculation, etc., and have a very wide range of applications.
Although armored thermal resistors are widely used in industry, their application is limited by their temperature measurement range. The temperature measurement principle of thermal resistors is based on the characteristic that the resistance value of conductors or semiconductors changes with temperature. It has many advantages. It can also transmit electrical signals remotely, has high sensitivity, strong stability, good interchangeability and accuracy, but requires power excitation and cannot measure temperature changes instantaneously.
From the temperature measurement principle of thermal resistors, it can be seen that the change of the measured temperature is directly measured by the change of the resistance value of the thermal resistor. Therefore, the change of various wire resistances such as the lead wire of the thermal resistor will affect the temperature measurement.
The armored thermal resistor is a solid body composed of a temperature sensing element (resistor), lead wire, insulating material, and stainless steel casing. Its outer diameter is generally φ2-φ8mm, and the minimum can reach φ0.25mm. Compared with ordinary thermal resistors, it has the following advantages:
① Small size, no air gap inside, thermal inertia, and small measurement value;
② Good mechanical properties, vibration resistance, and impact resistance;
③ Can be bent and easy to install;
④ Long service life.
Armored thermal resistor is a commonly used temperature measuring element in temperature measuring instruments. When the two ends of two conductors of different components are connected into a loop, when the temperatures of the thermocouples at the two junctions are different, a thermal current will be generated in the loop. If there is a temperature difference between the working end and the reference end of the thermocouple, the display instrument will indicate the temperature value corresponding to the thermoelectric potential generated by the thermocouple.
Armored thermal resistor is a temperature sensor. It has a smaller diameter than assembled thermocouples, is easy to bend, has good shock resistance, and is suitable for installation in places where assembled thermocouples cannot be installed. The armored thermocouples produced by the company use imported thermal resistor temperature measuring elements. Therefore, it has the advantages of accuracy, sensitivity, fast thermal response time, stable quality, and long service life.
