It is based on the principle of thermal resistance, which is the electrical resistance of a conductor that changes with temperature. The PT100 probe is made of 100 ohm platinum at 0 degrees Celsius, that’s why it has this name. When the temperature of the probe increases, its resistance also increases, and vice versa when the temperature drops. This resistance variation is used to measure temperature. PT100 probes have a resistance at 0°C equal to 100 ohms, but this resistance increases by 0.38 ohms per degree Celsius. It is important to note that the PT100 is one of the most widely used types of temperature sensor because of its accuracy, long-term stability and wide measurement range.
