Resistance (RTD) compact sensor OPTITEMP TRA-C10 – With clamp connection

The OPTITEMP TRA-C10 is a compact resistance sensor (RTD) with optional integrated transmitter for applications with limited space. The sensor is particularly designed for applications with hygienic requirements, e.g. in the food and beverage industry. It is made of stainless steel (1.4404 / 316 L) and has a surface finish of Ra 0.8 μm. It is best suited for measuring the temperature of gases, liquids and vapour from -50…+150°C / -58…+302°F. The OPTITEMP TRA-C10 is a highly accurate sensor featuring great reliability over the long term, and excellent measuring stability.
