Because RTDs extrapolate temperature from resistance, platinum\u2019s high resistivity compared to copper, silver, and nickel makes it a perfect candidate for RTD elements.<\/p>\n<p>But every RTD is inherently plagued by the same issue: leadwire resistance can introduce errors in measurement, sabotaging the accuracy they\u2019re known for.
