An RTD is a temperature sensor which measures temperature using the principle that the resistance of a metal changes with temperature. In practice, an electrical current is transmitted through a piece of metal (the RTD element or resistor) located in proximity to the area where temperature is to be measured.
What is RTD and its types?
Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs) available today can generally be categorized into one of two basic types of RTDs, depending on how their temperature sensing element is constructed. One type of RTD contains thin-film elements and the other type of RTD contains wire-wound elements.
What is the main purpose of RTD?
The resistance temperature detector (RTD), is a thin film device made of platinum, which is used for measuring temperature. It has great stability, accuracy and repeatability. The resistance tends to be almost linear with temperature the higher the temperature, the larger the resistance.
What is RTD and its application?
The term RTD stands for Resistance Temperature Detector. This sensor is also known as Resistance thermometer. This sensor is used to measure the temperature. Usually, they are available as a length of fine wire made of platinum nickel or copper, wrapped around a ceramic or glass core.

What does RTD Stad for?
A Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) is a device with a significant temperature coefficient (that is, its resistance varies with temperature).
Is RTD public or private?
As a public agency, we are dedicated to serving the public and providing for the transportation needs of over 3.08 million people located within 2,342 square miles.
