  • Resistance temperature detector assembly and method of fabricating same
    Patent number: 5831511
    Abstract: A resistance temperature detector (RTD) unit includes an RTD assembly that is removably supported in a central chamber of a support assembly. In a preferred arrangement, the RTD assembly and the central chamber are arc shaped to facilitate removal from the support assembly and to maintain contact surface area. By providing a removable RTD assembly, costs are reduced over current RTD assemblies including two monitoring elements, and the RTD elements can be replaced without dismantling the top bar connections.
