Pt100 Temperature Sensor on a Rectangular Cork Plate
Black standard for temperature measurement under irradiation
The Pt100 temperature sensor on a rectangular cork plate is designed as a black standard resistance thermometer. It measures the temperature of a copper sheet coated with black solar paint and is suitable for investigating thermal loads caused by irradiation in solar simulation systems, irradiation test stands, and laboratory setups.
The sensor consists of a cork base plate measuring approximately 40 × 70 × 10 mm and a 1 mm thick, black-coated copper sheet. The sensing resistor is bonded to the copper sheet using a special thermally conductive epoxy resin.
The Pt100 sensing element complies with DIN EN 60751, Class A. A four-wire connection with free cable ends and a UV-resistant, PTFE-insulated connection cable allow integration into suitable measurement systems. The continuous operating temperature range is −30 °C to +140 °C. The standard cable length is 10 m; other lengths are available as an option.

Measuring thermal loads under irradiation
The temperature of an irradiated surface is influenced by the ambient air, absorbed radiation, and heat exchange with the environment. The Pt100 black standard provides a defined black measuring surface for investigating these thermal effects.
In solar simulation systems and irradiation test stands, the sensor can be used to record the temperature profile at the selected measuring position and to compare test conditions. The sensing resistor is thermally coupled to the black-coated copper sheet through the thermally conductive epoxy resin.
Typical applications include:
- Solar simulation
- Material ageing
- Thermal load testing
- Laboratory test stands
- Research & Development
The sensor measures the temperature of its measuring surface. A suitable radiation measuring instrument is required to determine irradiance.
The Pt100 black standard combines a compact, rectangular design with a black-coated copper measuring surface and a UV-resistant connection cable.
Your benefits at a glance:
- Pt100 sensing element compliant with DIN EN 60751, Class A
- Four-wire connection for reducing the influence of cable resistance on the measurement
- Copper measuring surface coated with black solar paint
- Compact cork base plate measuring approx. 40 × 70 × 10 mm
- Sensing resistor bonded using a special thermally conductive epoxy resin
- Continuous operating temperature range from −30 °C to +140 °C
- UV-resistant cable with individual and overall PTFE insulation
- 10 m standard cable length; other lengths available as an option
- Free cable ends for connection to a suitable measurement system
The Pt100 black standard can be integrated into the test setup using a suitable Pt100 data acquisition system with a four-wire input. The free cable ends allow connection to compatible terminals or a suitable connector.
The standard 10 m cable allows the sensor and the evaluation unit to be positioned separately. Other cable lengths are available as an option to suit the installation.
For integration, the wire assignment and compatibility of the measurement input must be coordinated. The positioning and mounting of the sensor should also be adapted to the irradiation conditions and the measurement task.
