NTC THERMISTORS:
CRYOGENICS
DESCRIPTION:
Cryogenic Thermistor probes consist of bead ther-
mistors hermetically sealed into shock resistant
solid glass rods and come in 2 basic styles. The
CTFP…Type features a very small glass coated
bead extending from the tip of the glass rod while
the CTP…Type features a larger bead sealed with-
in the tip of the glass rod. Both styles are rugged
easy to handle and unaffected by severe environ-
mental exposures including high density nuclear
radiation. The CTFP…units offer ultrafast response
times whereas the CTP…units are more rugged
and at lower cost.

APPLICATIONS:
All Cryogenic Type Thermistor probes are designed
for use in the range of 25°C (room temperature)
to -196°C (the boiling point of Liquid Nitrogen).
These units are very stable, exhibit no hysteresis
effects, and rapid temperature cycling from 25°C
to -196°C has no measurable effect on electrical,
thermal or mechanical properties. These units are
well suited for Cryogenic temperature measure-
ment and control applications such as cryogenic
fluid flow, liquid level or temperature sensing in the
25°C to -196°C range. They may be used at tem-
peratures below the Nitrogen Point with suitable
instrumentation.
DATA:
Cryogenic Type Thermistor probes may be exposed
to 300°C for short periods. Units can be exposed
to 105°C for extended periods, however long term
storage at or above 60°C may result in some
resistance change, therefore storage below 60°C
is recommended for best stability.

These cryogenic thermistors are extremely useful for
liquid level detection in various cryogenic liquids. In
this application, the thermistor is slightly self-heat-
ed by passing a small current through the unit. The
heat generated in the unit is more easily dissipated
when the thermistor is immersed in cryogenic fluid
than when the fluid level falls below the thermistor.
The resulting change in thermistor temperature is
easily detected by the change in resistance.
