What is Resistance thermometer or resistance temperature detectors (RTDs)

Resistance thermometer or resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) is a temperature sensor to measure temperature by the property of changing resistance of the metal used in RTD's.

The RTD is made of pure metal,whose resistance change property with temperature is linear.Different resistance and corresponding temperature data is documented to use RTD as a thermometer.

Generally platinum is used as the metal in RTD's.
