What are the differences between platinum temperature sensors?

Platinum resistance thermometers can have different properties depending on their design, which is why different designs have been developed for different applications. Ceramic wire-wound platinum resistance thermometers consist of a fine platinum wire wound onto a ceramic substrate; they offer very high long-term stability and accuracy, but are more sensitive to vibrations. Thin-film PT100s consist of a thin platinum layer applied to a ceramic substrate and sealed with glass or ceramic; they are compact, robust and inexpensive. Glass PT100s use a platinum wire fused into glass, making them hermetically sealed, highly resistant to chemicals and particularly suitable for extreme environments. Overall, they differ mainly in terms of stability, robustness, size and cost.
