Ambient Air Temperature Sensor Probe, -40 to 85°C

The ambient air temperature sensor PPL10-P is a Pt100 or Pt1000 platinum resistance thermometer.

The outside air sensor is housed in a short 316 stainless steel probe with an optional radiation shield. This is fitted with your choice of housing suitable for being mounted to a wall or surface wherever necessary.

The rugged wall mounted temperature sensor probe has an operating range of -40 to 85°C and is available with or without a protective shroud.

We can offer aluminium, ABS or stainless steel versions to fit your application. All of our housings are rated to at least IP67 ingress protection. We can fit a number of options inside the terminal housing that best fit your requirements.

The simplest is a terminal block allowing you to connect directly to the environment temperature sensor. Alternatively, we can supply temperature transmitters with either a 4-20mA or a 0-10V output.

Industrial Ambient Temperature Sensors from Process Parameters

At Process Parameters, all of our sensors are custom-built to order to meet all of your requirements and your required application. The PPL10 environment temperature sensor is also available as a PPL10 thermocouple sensor. We are also able to supply the probe with your choice of thermistor sensor.

We also have an industrial RTD Sensor available.

We offer a comprehensive temperature sensor calibration service and a wide choice of accessories for all of our exterior temperature sensors. Have a look at our other RTD Pt100 sensors, and platinum resistance thermometers.

What is a Pt100 Ambient Air Temperature Sensor?

A PT100 ambient air temperature sensor is a specific type of temperature sensor used to measure the ambient air temperature. It is based on the PT100 element, which is a platinum resistance temperature detector (RTD). The "PT" stands for Platinum and "100" represents the nominal resistance value of 100 ohms at 0 degrees Celsius.

The PT100 ambient air temperature sensor operates on the principle that the electrical resistance of the platinum wire changes predictably with temperature. As the temperature increases, the resistance of the PT100 element also increases.

The PT100 sensor is designed to provide precise and reliable temperature readings in a wide range of applications. It is commonly used in HVAC systems, environmental monitoring, industrial processes, and scientific research where accurate ambient temperature measurement is required.

A PT100 rugged air sensor provides a linear and stable response, making it a popular choice for temperature sensing in various industries.

What is Ambient Air?

Ambient air refers to the air that surrounds us in our everyday environment. It is the air we breathe outdoors and indoors, without any specific sources or influences. It is the natural air that exists in our environment without any significant modifications or contaminants.

What Does an Ambient Air Temperature Sensor Do?

The ambient air temperature sensor is responsible for measuring and monitoring the temperature of the surrounding air. It is commonly used in various applications, such as automotive systems, HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems, and weather monitoring devices. The sensor provides information about the current ambient temperature, allowing the system to make adjustments or provide accurate temperature readings for various purposes, such as climate control, engine performance optimisation, or weather forecasting.

What is an Outdoor Temperature Sensor?

An outdoor temperature sensor is a device specifically designed to measure and monitor the temperature in outdoor environments. It is built to withstand exposure to harsh weather conditions, such as rain, snow, and extreme temperatures. Outdoor temperature sensors are commonly used in weather stations, environmental monitoring, and climate research applications.
