Introduction
Effective temperature control is essential for quality control, efficiency, safety and energy saving in the industry. Minew continuously seeks innovation in IoT devices, with a mission to offer more IoT solutions to various industries. A year ago, Minew announced an industrial temperature and humidity monitoring sensor – MST01, featuring four different probes covering various temperature range. Recognizing the need for a lower temperature measuring range and higher precision in some scenarios, we are introducing a new member of the MST01 series – the MST01 Pt100 Temperature Sensor. Let’s explore what’s new and what additional features are included.
What is a Pt100 Temperature Sensor?
A Pt100 is a sensor used to measure temperature. A PT100 temperature sensor is one type of sensor that falls into a group called Resistance Temperature Detectors or RTDs.
Before understanding how the sensor works, it is worth looking at some of the terminology used, as this is extremely useful to know when identifying a sensor.
The sensor type, Pt100, indicates two important pieces of information about the sensor. The first part, Pt, is the chemical symbol for Platinum, and this shows that the sensor is Platinum-based. The second part, 100, relates to the resistance of the device at 0°C.
A PT100 temperature sensor is a versatile and reliable RTD probe used in a wide range of industrial processes. Its platinum resistor, robust construction, and compliance with IEC standards make it an ideal choice for accurate temperature measurement in various environmental conditions.
What’s new
Customizable Probes: Continuing the customizability(offering 4 different probes) of the MST01 series, the MST01 Pt100 temperature sensor offers options for PTFE wire length, probe material and length, and temperature range. It can be tailored to fit most applications, whether for industrial, medical, or environmental monitoring.
Premium Food-Grade Probes: With food-grade probes, the MST01 Pt100 sensor is ideal for industries requiring strict hygiene standards, particularlly in the food sector, such as seafood, grain, and meat processing.
Ultra-Low Temperature Capabilities: The sensor supports ultra-low temperature monitoring, covering -40℃ ~ 180℃ and -200℃ ~ 200℃ with different probes. The temperature range can also be customized to meet specific needs.
High-Precision Monitoring: The innovative use of the Pt100 sensor with a 4-wire design and Class A accuracy is Minew’s solution to meet high-accuracy requirements. Additionally, the sensor’s PTFE wire offers excellent stability, ensuring long-lasting accuracy even in harsh environments.
More features
Real-Time Data Visualization: The LCD displays key data, including max, min, and average values, and whether the temperature is within preset thresholds. Data can also be visualized via our MSensor and exported to Excel for efficient data management.
Configurable Temperature Thresholds: The MST01 Pt100 offers multiple temperature threshold options, ensuring precise monitoring to keep temperatures within the preset range. Users receive instant alerts when limits are exceeded, allowing for immediate action. “It is deisgned to maximize user experience and operational efficiency”, said Windy, product manager at Minew.AA
Large Data Capacity of 20,408 Logs: Capable of storing up to 20,408 logs locally, this sensor ensures comprehensive data collection while minimizing the risk of data loss. It’s especially useful for tracking temperature trends over extended periods.
IP67-rated Water and Dust Resistance: With its IP67 rating, this device is built for demanding industrial environments like agricultural monitoring, offering outstanding water and dust resistance. It ensures accurate measurements even in the harshest conditions.
If you’re in need of an ultra-low temperature monitor for applications like dry ice transportation, medical lab condition monitoring, or biological samples preservation, the MST01 Pt100 Temperature Sensor is the ideal solution. Its versatility across industries is enhanced by its highly customizable probe options and temperature range.
Conclusion
The MST01 Pt100 sensor is an innovative solution to address the temperature monitoring challenges faced by today’s demanding industries. Its Pt100 sensor and 4-wire design provide superior performance to meet stringent industrial requirements. With strong customizability and premium materials, Minew continues to be a reliable partner in providing effective IoT solutions.
