RTD stands for Resistance Temperature Detector, so an RTD Sensor is a type of Temperature Sensor. An RTD Sensor contains a resistor which changes resistance value as the temperature changes. What are RTD sensors used for? RTD Sensors are more accurate and stable than other temperature sensors...

The demand for pressure measuring instruments increased during the steam age. When pressure sensing technologies were first manufactured they were mechanical and used Bourdon tube gauges to move a needle and give a visual indication of pressure. Nowadays we measure pressure electronically using...
