Description

A temperature sensor is a device to measure temperature by an electrical signal. The typical sensing element is RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) or thermocouple (T/C).
The RTD is a variable resistor that will change its electrical resistance depending on temperature. The platinum is commonly used as an RTD sensing element due to its purity, linearity and stability over a wide range of temperatures. A thermocouple is made by two dissimilar metals that generate electrical voltage in direct proportion to changes in temperature. HAWK SX model is with 316 stainless steel explosion proof head assembly and a element installed in a metallic drawn and top-welded stem tube.
It is a intrinsically safety designs which are most widely used for applications in hazardous areas.
