(RTDs)
RTDs measure temperature by monitor-
ing changes in the electrical resistance of
metal wires or films. The wire used is usu-
ally platinum, although other metals, includ-
ing nickel, a nickel/iron alloy, and copper are
also available. Like T/Cs, RTDs are nonlin-
ear, and must be compensated.
