Resistance Wires for Temperature Measurement

Platinum wires are used in resistance thermometers and gas flow meters.

Heraeus uses state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies to produce the thinnest high-quality resistance wires to customer specifications, thus allowing the production of high-precision measuring resistors.

Thanks to the excellent physical properties of platinum, our wire demonstrates stable electrical behavior with minimal drift and a high degree of reproducibility.
