This is a series of resistance type temperature sensors (resistance thermometers). These are bonded types like strain gauges and feature quick response. Exclusive adaptor is recommended for measurement using strainmeter.

Temperature Gauge Adaptor TGA-1A/TGA-1B
These adaptors are usable respectively for the TFL-6 and TFL-8 to read not only relative temperature but also real temperature with conventional strainmeter. Both units attenuates the resistance change equivalent to 100×10-6 strain per degree C.
