Since the Pt100 and Pt1000 sensors are manufactured with thin-film technology, the platinum content is reduced to a minimum, which also keeps the costs correspondingly low. One advantage over temperature measuring instruments, such as bimetal thermometers, is that the resistance thermometer can combine and evaluate the electrical signal with other data directly in measurement technology. WIKA resistance thermometers are also very robust and can be used in temperature ranges between -200 °C and +600 °C without losing any accuracy. A disadvantage of resistance thermometers compared to thermocouples is the slower response behaviour, since measurements are taken over the entire volume of the measuring resistor.
