Apogee Thermistors
The ST-100 is a high accuracy thermistor (± 0.1 C from 0 to 70 C), mounted in a waterproof housing, designed for continuous measurement of air, soil, or water.
The ST-110 is a high accuracy thermistor (± 0.1 C from -40 to 60 C) designed to minimize solar load and thermal conduction. White heat shrink is used on the cable behind the thermistor to reduce solar load. Constantan wire is used to minimize thermal conduction down the wire towards the thermistor. The ST-110 is designed to make air temperature measurements in Apogee’s TS-100 Aspirated Radiation Shield and can be used in static, multi-plate shields from other companies as well.
The ST-200 is an accurate (± 0.2 C from 0 to 70 C) fine wire (0.45 mm tip, 0.15 mm wire) thermistor designed for measurement of delicate surfaces or small samples with a fast response time, less than 1 second.
