The copper 10 ohm RTD temperature sensor (Cu10 RTD) has been a sensor of choice for decades in a wide variety of applications. The large change in resistance vs. temperature--4270ppm (0.00427 Ohms/Ohms/°C)-- contributes to high measurement resolution. Copper is an excellent conductor of heat and responds quickly to changes in temperature.
The design of the Sensor Technology Cu10 temperature sensor is more robust than the typical Cu10 RTD. The sensor construction features a precision copper wire wound around a ceramic core, with lead spacing tightly controlled to ensure reproducibility. The coil is protected with a high-temperature resin encapsulation to provide electrical insulation. The standard sensor has a nominal resistance of 10Ω at 25°C, a tolerance of ±0.2% @ 25°C, with a temperature coefficient α = 0.00427 Ohms/Ohms/°C. Other resistance values are available via special order.
The standard operating temperature range is -190°C to 260°C
With advantages such as high thermal conductivity, stability, precision, and cost-effectiveness, copper temperature sensors are used in a variety of, industrial applications, including:
• Industrial process control, including chemical, food, and pharmaceutical processing
• Equipment manufacturing
• Motor and transformer overtemperature protection
• Heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration
• Automotive sector: engines, cooling systems, and fluid temperature measurement
• Household appliances: refrigerators, freezers, ovens, stoves, and dishwashers
• Biomedical: Sterilization, biomedical research, and medical devices
• Industrial heater control
• Soil temperature and other agricultural applications
It's worth noting that RTD sensors also have applications in aerospace, electronics, scientific research, and smart homes. Their versatility, precision, and reliability make them essential tools for accurate temperature measurement.
