Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Is this a Pt100 or a thermocouple sensor?
A: The ABB CS310 7KT92 is a Pt100 RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) sensor. RTDs are generally known for higher accuracy and stability over time compared to thermocouples.
Q: What does "Pt100" mean?
A: "Pt" stands for Platinum, and "100" means it has a resistance of 100 ohms at 0°C. This is the most common type of industrial RTD.
Q: What is the difference between Class A, Class B, and 1/3 DIN accuracy?
A: These are tolerance classes defining the sensor's accuracy.
-
Class B: Standard industrial grade (±0.3°C at 0°C)
-
Class A: Higher accuracy (±0.15°C at 0°C)
-
1/3 DIN: Even higher accuracy than Class A. Always specify the required tolerance for your application.
Q: Can I customize the insertion length and connection type?
A: Yes. The "7KT92" code is typically a base for a longer ordering code that specifies length, connection thread, wiring configuration (e.g., 2-wire, 3-wire, 4-wire), and accuracy class. You must configure the full part number for your needs.
Q: How do I select the right sensor for my application?
A: Key factors include:
-
Required temperature range
-
Desired accuracy (tolerance class)
-
Process connection (thread size)
-
Insertion length
-
Sheath material (compatible with your process medium)
