Technical information
Temperature sensor fundamentals
Reliable temperature measurement requires the sensor type, tolerance, wiring and installation to be considered together. The following overview helps distinguish thermocouples from Pt100 resistance sensors before detailed engineering.

Applications and selection
- Thermocouples cover broad temperature ranges and respond quickly in suitable constructions
- Pt100 sensors offer stable and repeatable resistance-based measurement
- Extension and compensating cables must match the sensor system
- DIN EN 60584 and DIN EN 60751 provide relevant reference values and tolerance classes
This English preview provides a reliable technical introduction. Detailed dimensions, variants and project-specific limits remain subject to technical review. German detail pages are labelled where a complete English migration is still in progress.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What information is needed for an enquiry?
Please provide the application, operating temperature, dimensions, voltage and wattage, connection position and relevant process conditions. Ihne & Tesch uses these details for the technical first assessment.
Are custom designs available?
Yes. Dimensions, geometry, mounting, connection and sensor integration can be adapted after technical review. Feasibility depends on the product and operating conditions.
