Meiyo Electric R-96 Platinum Resistance Bulb — Special-Purpose Temperature Measurement

Introduction

Meiyo Electric R-96 is a low-temperature platinum resistance bulb designed for special-purpose temperature measurement with a terminal-box configuration. The manufacturer specifies applications including cooling fresh water (CFW), lubricating oil (LO), fuel oil (FO), seawater (SW), and bearing systems.

The R-96 uses a Pt100Ω resistance element and is available in different temperature ranges and sensor dimensions. For replacement procurement, the complete installed configuration should therefore be identified rather than selecting a replacement solely by model family or Pt100 resistance.

Technical Overview: Meiyo Electric R-96 Platinum Resistance Bulb

Meiyo Electric emphasizes response characteristics for its low-temperature platinum resistance bulbs. The sensor construction is designed to provide effective heat conductivity at the resistance element to minimize measurement response delay.

The manufacturer specifies the following characteristics for the R-96:

Technical Item	Meiyo Electric R-96 Specification

Model	R-96
Nominal Resistance	Pt100Ω at 0°C
Current	2 mA
Accuracy Class	Class B
Operating Temperature Ranges	-200 to 100°C / 0 to 350°C / 0 to 500°C
Standard Tube Material	SUS304
Connection	3 terminal
Protecting Tube	Single
Terminal Type	Terminal box
Standard Length L	150, 200 or 300 mm
Diameter φD	8, 10, 12 or 15 mm
Attached Plug	None
Specified Applications	CFW, LO, FO, SW and bearing system
Manufacturer Classification	Special purpose

The existence of several temperature ranges, lengths and tube diameters makes the complete sensor specification relevant when evaluating an existing R-96 for replacement.

Industrial Application

The R-96 belongs to Meiyo Electric's low-temperature platinum resistance bulb range. The manufacturer identifies this sensor category for temperature measurement and monitoring of lubricating oil, cooling water, ship-engine bearings and air temperature.

For the R-96 specifically, documented applications include cooling fresh water, lubricating oil, fuel oil, seawater and bearing systems.

Selection should therefore be based on the actual measurement point, required temperature range, sensor dimensions and installed mechanical configuration.

Identification / Replacement Considerations

When evaluating an existing Meiyo Electric R-96 for replacement, verify:

• Manufacturer and exact model: R-96

• Existing nameplate / identification

• Copy of the original drawing, when available

• Pt100Ω resistance element

• Required operating temperature range

• Class B accuracy

• 3-terminal configuration

• Protecting-tube material

• Protecting-tube diameter

• Insertion / overall length

• Terminal-box configuration

• Existing mounting arrangement

• Measured fluid or bearing application

• Quantity

An R-96 replacement should not be selected from the model designation alone. The required temperature range, tube diameter, length and installation arrangement should correspond to the existing sensor and measurement point.

Engineers collaborate on the assessment of the Meiyo Electric R-96 platinum resistance bulb for potential use in marine and industrial temperature sensor applications.

Information Recommended for Quotation

For a Meiyo Electric R-96 RFQ, provide the exact model designation and a copy of the original drawing whenever available.

If the complete specification cannot be confirmed, provide clear photographs of the terminal box, sensor assembly and identification markings, together with the required temperature range, tube diameter, length, mounting arrangement, measured medium or application and quantity.

This information helps distinguish the required R-96 configuration before quotation feasibility is evaluated.

Nichiboku Support

Nichiboku supports international sourcing and supply of identifiable Japanese industrial and marine instrumentation, including Meiyo Electric temperature measurement products for replacement and defined requirements.

Technical evaluation is based on the available information for the existing sensor and required measurement conditions. Providing the exact model, copy of the original drawing, dimensions, temperature range and installation details helps reduce identification uncertainty and supports a technically qualified RFQ.
