Can you tell me how we will select RTD and Thermocouples for
Temperature applications. I.e How we will choose accurate
one for a specefic operation if both having same ranges
Answer Posted / kumar_abit
Both thermocouples and RTD have their specific advantages,
according to our need we have to choose for our purpose.i am
explaining below:
1.thermocouples can measure up to a temp. of 1700 degree
celcius,where as RTDs are limited to 800 degree celcius
2.Grounded Thermocouples are inheritantly tip sensitive;
while RTD elements are isolated from their sheaths. A
grounded Thermocouple will respond to a 63% step change in
temperature nearly 3 times faster than a RTD counterpart.
3.Normally rtds are costlier i.e.2.5 or 3 times than
thermocouples
4.as the case is taken onbehalf of accuracy and linearity
RTD shows improve characteristics than thermocouple.
5.Due to their linearity and virtually drift free output,
RTDs are more stable than Thermocouples.

i have used level transmitter in starch cooking preparation tank. tank total height 2mtr.sometime LT display shows some error value when tank is fully empty and diaphragm side i already checked okay no problem in diaphragm area. field cable checked 24volt and mA shows correct value while tank empty mA is 4mA. 4mA i needed that 0% but display showing 10% or 15% percentage values are varying continously please give any good solution for me.....
