1. Product Overview

The CMT-100 Platinum Resistance Cryogenic Thermometer is designed for accurate temperature measurement from 20 K to 500 K. Within this range, platinum resistance sensors provide excellent repeatability and nearly constant sensitivity.

With a tolerance of ±1 K, the platinum resistance thermometer can also be applied in magnetic field and radiation environments.

Above 70 K, the thermometer follows the universal IEC751 standard curve, ensuring high interchangeability. The thin-film platinum resistance sensors offered by Vectomag feature a smaller size and faster response time, making them suitable for broader applications.
