What is another word for resistance thermometer?
Pronunciation: [ɹɪsˈɪstəns θɜːmˈɒmɪtə] (IPA) 
A resistance thermometer is a device that measures temperatures by sensing changes in electrical resistance. However, there are various other terms that refer to similar devices. For instance, they can also be called resistance temperature detectors (RTD), platinum resistance thermometers (PRT), and resistance temperature sensors (RTS). These terms are often used interchangeably, but they all refer to devices that work on the principle of detecting changes in the electrical resistance of a material due to temperature changes. Resistance thermometers are commonly used in industrial, scientific, and medical applications where precise temperature measurements are required. Other synonyms for these devices include platinum thermal sensors and resistance temperature transducers.
