Abstract :
The accuracy and long-term stability of platinum resistance temperature sensors is now available through thin-film technology at low cost for consumer-appliance applications. The underlying technology and methods of assembly are reviewed, along with the favorable cost basis that has accelerated the expanding application of thin-film platinum. Test data with emphasis on the most demanding application in pyrolytic ovens are presented
