7 Key Factors to Consider When Choosing a PT-100 Sensors Manufacturer

· Platinum sensing element

· Sheath material

· Insulation material

· Lead-wire construction

· Cable insulation

· Terminal/head construction

· Protection against moisture or environmental exposure

· Mechanical strength

The sheath, for example, should be appropriate for the process environment. A sensor installed in a chemical process may face different conditions from one used in an HVAC system or industrial furnace.

For this reason, the cheapest quotation should not automatically be considered the best value.

Look at total value, not only purchase price

A low-cost sensor may appear attractive during procurement, but inconsistent measurement, frequent replacement, or compatibility problems can increase the overall cost of ownership.
