Platinum Resistance Thermometer (ST-300-SS)
Reliable Temperature Sensing for Environmental Applications
The ST-300-SS Air Temperature Sensor is a high-accuracy Platinum Resistance Thermometer (PRT) engineered for precise ambient temperature measurement. Its low solar loading and low thermal mass design ensure stable, reliable, and accurate performance in environmental monitoring applications.
Specifications
Specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
