Anyone who has used a kettle, toaster, or a bar heater on a chilly evening has made the acquaintance of resistance heating.
Table of Contents. 1. RTD Overview. A platinum resistance temperature detector (RTD) is a device with a typical resistance of 100 Ï at 0 Â°C. It consists of a thin film of platinum on a plastic film. Its resistance varies with temperature and it can typically measure temperatures up to 850 Â°C. Passing current through an RTD generates a voltage across the RTD.
