Temperature range of -196°C to +660°C

Ceramic wire-wound Pt100 RTD sensors

Ceramic wire-wound Pt100 RTD sensors are designed for accurate and stable temperature measurement over a wide temperature range. The platinum sensing coil can expand within the ceramic structure, supporting measurement stability at elevated temperatures. Selected sensors can withstand acceleration levels up to 30 g from 10 Hz to 1 kHz, making them suitable for demanding RTD assemblies, including mineral insulated RTD sensors.

Product summary

  • Widest temperature range of all platinum sensors
  • High accuracy due to tight tolerance classes up to 1/10 DIN
  • Mechanically robust
  • Excellent insulation properties
  • Easy housing in protection tubes

Our ceramic wire wound PT100 range

For our ceramic wire wound range, we work closely with Sensor Technology. This Brazilian company offers a KN series, K series, KG series and KX series with each its own characteristics to suit different industries. Each series is manufactured, calibrated, and tested to IEC specifications.

KN series

The KN Series ceramic wire wound PT100 RTDs are designed for general uses where temperature stability and accuracy are needed. They are well-suited for industrial resistance thermometers used in processes such as in chemical industries, power generation facilities, and analytical equipment.

K series

The K Series ceramic wire wound PT100 RTDs are designed for use in resistance thermometers that demand temperature stability above 800°C, precision, and resistance to high temperature shocks. They are ideal for use in chemical and power generation facilities, analytical instruments, and any situation where superior temperature stability and resistance to sudden temperature changes are essential.

KG series and KX series

The KG and KX series PT100 RTDs are designed for general applications that require consistent temperature stability. They are particularly suited for use in industrial resistance thermometers, with applications including chemical processing, power generation facilities, and analytical instruments.

In addition to these standard products, we can also supply custom requests. This can be design elements like different diameters, lengths, classes and coefficients. Please contact us for more information.

Where are ceramic wire-wound Pt100 sensors used?

Ceramic wire-wound Pt100 sensors are used in applications requiring high measurement stability, wide temperature capability or resistance to thermal shock. Applications described on this page include chemical processing, power generation, analytical equipment, process monitoring and cryogenic temperature measurement.

Kamet is expert with regard to the application and configuration options and can advise you as to which of our extensive RTD product range would be the perfect match for your parameters.  Our products include a variety of dimensions, temperature range as well as  tolerance classes.

Ceramic wire-wound vs thin-film Pt100 sensors

Another kind of Pt100 RTD which we stock are thin film Pt100 sensors.  There is some overlap in the properties of both thin film and wire wound sensors. A thin film RTD is cheaper, has a very flat profile and is even more resistant to vibration.

However, in general terms if you need a very accurate RTD along a wide temperature range, especially at the upper ranges, the higher cost of a wire-wound resistor is worth the extra investment.

For a more detailed comparison of these platinum RTD’s please visit our knowledge base about RTD sensors. Alternatively, our advisors would be happy to assess your situation and help you select the ideal  product.

Can ceramic wire-wound Pt100 sensors be supplied with lead wires?

Ceramic wire wound Pt100 sensors can be supplied with extension wires for applications requiring high accuracy, long-term stability and reliable performance over a wide temperature range. This configuration is suitable for demanding RTD assemblies and motor applications where measurement stability is more important than the lowest possible component cost.

For electric motor applications, ceramic wire wound sensors may be used where higher accuracy, thermal stability or more robust long-term performance is required.
