4-wire RTD
Why use a 2-, 3-, or 4- wire RTD?
2-wire: Lowest cost -- rarely used due to high error from lead
wire resistance
3-wire: Good balance of cost and performance. Good lead
wire compensation.
4-wire: Theoretically the best lead wire compensation method
(fully compensates); the most accurate solution. Highest cost.
Typically use copper wires for

What is a Thermocouple?
Seebeck Effect
In 1821, Thomas Seebeck discovered that if two wires of dissimilar metals were
joined together at both ends and one of the ends is heated,a continuous current
flows through this thermoelectric circuit.
If this circuit is broken, the net open circuit voltage is a function of the junction
temperatures and the composition of the two metals.

– Allows for sensor removal without process

– Slows response time (by typically 5 times)
Why are there different material types?
– To handle different corrosive environments
– To handle different temperature and pressure limits

Sensor Time Response
Type of element
Thin-film has slightly faster response time than wirewound
– Thermocouples do not vary significantly
Element packaging
– Rosemount RTD’s are packed in magnesium oxide to provide
optimum thermal conduction within the sheath
– Grounded thermocouples are twice as fast as ungrounded
Sheath thickness and material
– Rosemount uses 316SST and Inconel (for high temperatures) for
sheath; both are very good thermal conductors

Sensor Time Response
Typical
Wirewound RTD 10 - 16 s
Thin-film RTD 8.0 - 12 s
Ungrounded thermocouples <4 s
Grounded thermocouples <2s
* All results based on standard conditions: time required to reach
63.2% sensor response for water flowing at 3 ft/sec.

Factors Affecting Response Time
of Sensors in Thermowells
Thermowell design style
(thickness at tip)
– Stepped is the fastest
Distance between sensor sheath
and thermowell (y)
– Spring loaded sensor ensures
contact at the tip
– Industry practice suggests using
thermally conductive fill can
significantly reduce time lag
