What Are the Differences Between 2-Wire, 3-Wire, and 4-Wire RTDs? A Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) measures temperature using a resistor with a resistance value that changes as its temperature increases or decreases. RTDs are typically manufactured in three different wiring configurations: 2-wire, 3-wire, and 4-wire. Each configuration is designed to compensate for lead wire resistance to varying degrees, impacting measurement accuracy.

Installation Obstacles: Invasive In-Pipe Immersion Sensors When it comes to process piping systems, temperature of in-pipe media is often a necessary measurement – and one that needs to be monitored accurately. Traditionally, in-pipe immersion sensors are used. However, invasive in-pipe immersion sensors are often not ideal for use within process piping systems. Here are 3 considerations to take before installing immersion sensors in process piping systems.
