Bayonet type PT100 sensors

Hi everyone,

Bayonet type PT100 sensors are a type of temperature sensor that feature a specific design with a bayonet cap for easy installation and removal. These sensors have a platinum resistor that measures temperature changes based on the resistance changes of the platinum. The bayonet design allows for quick and easy insertion into the process without the need for any additional tools or clamping mechanisms. This makes them a popular choice for many industrial applications where temperature monitoring is critical. The bayonet type PT100 sensors are available in various designs and sizes to suit different application needs.

Bayonet type PT100 sensors are typically mounted in a thermowell or directly into the process, depending on the application. The thermowell design allows for easy removal and replacement of the sensor without the need to shut down the process or drain the system. The bayonet design also provides a secure and tight fit to ensure accurate temperature readings.

The resistive value of a PT100 sensor at 0°C is 100 ohms. As the temperature changes, the resistance of the sensor also changes proportionally. This change in resistance is measured and converted into a temperature value using a specialized electronic circuit.

Bayonet type PT100 sensors are available in a range of temperature ranges and accuracies to suit various application needs. They can be used in harsh environments, such as high temperatures, pressure, and corrosive chemicals. The sensors can be made from different materials, including stainless steel, titanium, and ceramic, to suit different process conditions.

Bayonet type PT100 sensors are commonly used in industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceutical, chemical, and power generation. They are widely used in temperature control and monitoring systems for process control and safety purposes. The sensors are also used in laboratory equipment, medical devices, and HVAC systems for temperature measurement and control.
