Disadvantages of Resistance Temperature Detectors
Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs), are sensors used to measure temperature. Many RTD elements consist of a length of fine wire wrapped around a ceramic or glass core but other constructions...

What is RTD Sensitivity ?
The RTD is a temperature sensitive resistance. So an indication of its “sensitivity” should indicate the amount to which the resistance changes as temperature changes. Some discussions of RTD sensitivity...
