Bondable Resistance Temperature Sensors and Associated Circuitry

Sensor Installation

TG temperature sensors are installed with the same techniques and materials used for installation of wide-temperature range strain gages. M-Bond 600 or 610 adhesives are usually employed because they are useful over the entire temperature range of the sensor itself. Surface preparation techniques are given in Instruction Bulletin B-129, Surface Preparation for Strain Gage Bonding , and specific installation procedures are included in the selected adhesive kit.

Leadwires are normally handled in the same way as those for strain gages, with one significant difference. The three-wire system used with strain gages to eliminate errors due to temperature-induced resistance changes in the leadwires is not generally effective with TG sensors.
