Enter any two known values and press calculate to solve for the others.
When accuracy, reliability, and responsiveness are critical, Birk Manufacturing’s Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) Sensors deliver outstanding performance. Serving industries like medical, aerospace, defense, and semiconductor manufacturing, Birk’s RTDs are engineered for precision thermal measurement in the most challenging environments. |
Why RTD Sensors Stand Out
At the core of Resistance Temperature Detector sensors is a simple but powerful principle: the electrical resistance of metal changes predictably with temperature. By precisely measuring that resistance, RTD sensors provide real-time, dependable temperature readings. With a broad operating range of -220°C to 850°C, these sensors ensure performance across an array of demanding applications. |

Custom and Standard RTD Solutions
Birk offers both Standard RTD Solutions and Custom RTD Solutions to meet diverse application needs. Standard RTDs are in stock and ready to be shipped with a variety of housing and packaging options, as well as materials, sizes, and resistance values. These options allow for quick integration into your systems. Custom RTDs can be configured specifically to the needs of your project, with expert support from our engineering team. We offer many options, including:
Tailored for High-Stakes Applications Designing the optimal watt density for a medical device requires evaluating several factors. It is valuable for engineers and device designers to understand these factors. However, it is imperative to seek out experts in thermal management to pull all the factors together into your design. |
Whether you’re developing medical devices that require life-critical thermal control or semiconductor systems where rapid thermal response is crucial, Birk’s RTDs are engineered to meet exacting standards.
We provide sensors for applications such as:
