RTD & Thermocouple Industrial Sensor Assemblies

Temperature is one of the most crucial process variables measured in industrial applications. Wahl Thermocouples and RTDs are precise temperature measuring sensors engineered to provide the highest quality and reliability. Since 1953, Wahls history of achievement and innovation in the temperature measurement field backs up this performance. You can configure these RTD and Thermocouple systems and components to fit most industrial applications. If you require a design solution not shown in these pages, call your Wahl Distributor or our factory.

Wahls WR Series of Industrial RTD probes use 100 platinum RTDs with .00385//C coefficient. All RTDs or Resistance Temperature Detectors are made from high purity platinum for precise temperature measurements and are available in Class A or Class B accuracy per DIN EN 60751. All probes are available in 2, 3, or 4-wire configuration with a maximum operating range of -50F to 400F, (-45C to 204C). Two types of RTDs are available: Thin Film Type RTDs use a thin layer of platinum, deposited over a ceramic substrate, laser etched and protected with a fused glass coating. They should be chosen for high vibration and high shock applications. Thin Film sensors offer fast response at a lower cost. Wire Wound Type RTDs use high-purity platinum wire, wound around a ceramic core and encapsulated in a glass coating. Wire Wound elements provide a faster response when used in a cylindrical shank and have greater accuracy, particularly over wide temperature ranges. Standard, compression, spring-loaded, and sanitary probe types are available.
