What are Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTD) ?

Resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) are based on the principle that the electrical resistance of a metal increases as temperature increases a phenomenon known as thermal resistivity. Thus, a temperature measurement can be inferred by measuring the resistance of the RTD element. RTD’s are constructed of a resistive material with leads attached and usually placed into a protective ...

Measurement Platform

The MP-1 is designed to test the absolute thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, and specific heat of solids, liquids, pastes, and powders with the powerful combination of the transient plane source (TPS) and transient hot-wire (THW) methods. The powerful combination of Transient Plane Source (TPS) for solids, and Transient Hot Wire (THW) for liquids, gives the Thermtest MP-1 a unique and ...
