Description
Pt1000 Air Temperature Sensor (Model APES-8×150) is designed for accurate measurement of air temperature in engine development, industrial air ducts, HVAC systems, compressed air lines, and process air monitoring applications. It features a Pt1000 RTD sensing element, an L-shaped SS316 probe, and a durable Teflon/Teflon/SS insulated cable for reliable operation in demanding environments.
The Pt1000 sensing element provides excellent stability and sensitivity, making it suitable for applications requiring precise air temperature measurement over a range of -50°C to +400°C. The L-shaped probe simplifies installation where space is limited or angled mounting is required.
This sensor is suitable for engine test cells, industrial machinery, air handling systems, and custom monitoring systems. If intended for automotive ECU integration, compatibility with the target control system should be verified because many OEM ECUs are designed for specific sensor types.
