Ordering Guide: Selecting the Right Industrial Thermal Resistance
When ordering Sino-Inst’s Industrial Thermal Resistances, it is essential to consider the specific requirements of your application. Here are the key factors to consider:
Sensor Type
Sino-Inst offers both RTD (resistance temperature detector) and thermistor sensor types, each with its own advantages. RTDs provide a linear resistance-temperature relationship and are suitable for a wide range of temperature measurement applications, while thermistors offer higher sensitivity and are often used in applications with smaller temperature ranges.
Sensor Configuration
The number of wires connecting the sensor to the measurement device (2-wire, 3-wire, or 4-wire) can impact accuracy and compensation for lead resistance. Choosing the right configuration will depend on the specific requirements of your application and the available instrumentation.
Sheath Material and Design
The thermal resistance sheath material, such as stainless steel or high-performance alloys, should be selected based on the operating environment, chemical compatibility, and physical requirements of the application. Additionally, the sheath design (threaded, flanged, or spring-loaded) should match the installation requirements.
Temperature Range
Ensure that the selected Industrial Thermal Resistance can withstand the expected temperature range in your application, with appropriate accuracy and response time.
Certification and Approvals
Depending on the industry and regulatory requirements, you may need to consider thermal resistances with specific certifications, such as ATEX, IECEx, or UL, to ensure compliance and safety.
