Pt100 - Temperature - Sensors

Market overview

Some designs of Pt100 resistance thermometers are standardized in DIN and thus allow easy interchangeability, even of products from different manufacturers. In addition, there are a large number of very different variants of Pt100 resistance thermometers that have proven themselves for specific applications or are built to customer specifications.
Almost all manufacturers can supply all variants, i.e. ultimately it is mainly quality, service, delivery time and price that decide which supplier to choose.
An exception are Pt100 resistance thermometers, which are used in hazardous areas.
For this purpose, the manufacturing company required an approval.
If special certificates (e.g. SIL) are required, there is a further restriction of the suppliers available for selection.
Below is a brief overview of the most common designs on the market for special applications.
