Temperature Detectors Manufacture

Ceramic Wire Wound Platinum Detectors

SDL ceramic wire-wound detectors are manufactured to the highest possible standards, using platinum wire. They offer long-term stability across a wide range of applications.

We manufacture a comprehensive range of PT100 detectors to meet all of the recognised international specifications, including IEC60751;2008, tolerance classes W0.3, W0.15, and W0.1 in diameters from Ø0.78 to Ø4.5mm.

World-leading Manufacturer of Temperature Sensors

Our core process is the design and precision manufacture of temperature sensors, especially detectors for specialised applications. We provide complete in-house design, manufacturing and calibration facilities, ensuring that the reliability and accuracy of the finished detectors.

  • Precision Wire Winding

    Handmade wire wound platinum resistance temperature detectors are constructed using a very small coil inserted into a high purity ceramic tube.
  • Ceramic Casing

    A small quantity of glass bonding material is introduced into the bores, bonding parts of the coil to the ceramic tube leaving the majority of the coil to move freely, giving excellent long-term stability.

DETECTORS SPECIFICATIONS
Standard Ceramic Wire Wound Detector Range

SDL is synonymous with quality in the field of platinum resistance detectors (Pt100s). We offer, as standard, substantially better interchangeability tolerances than those defined by International Standards, such as EN 60751;2008, for reduced variability in the elements.

This is achieved through stringent quality controls at every stage of production, from the approval of the platinum alpha coil wire through final detector selection.

DETECTORS APPLICATIONS
Bespoke Temperature Detectors for Critical Applications

We manufacture Pt sensors for common and specialist applications. We are recognised as one of the premier producers of wire wound elements, supplying leading RTD manufacturers throughout the world with high-quality standard and specialist detectors.

Sensors operating in high-temperature systems, such as engines, combustion systems and material processing, are used to measure real-time operating conditions. Data collected can be used for a range of tasks, including improving efficiencies and reducing carbon output, along with ensuring structural integrity and the safety of operatives..
