High temperature RFID tag classification and selection

High temperature RFID tag

High temperature RFID tags are suitable for the management of certain equipment and components in high temperature environments, such as mould management, automotive spraying, and high temperature disinfection, etc. Their structure is different, the temperature resistance level is also different, quality，performance and price are all different. There are four main categories.

1. PCB high temp RFID tags

The high temp RFID tags of PCB, can withstand the temperature of about 150-180 degrees, but their tolerance time is short. If it is placed in a high temperature environment for a long time, its performance will be damaged. Due to its low manufacturing cost, it is really a good and economical choice for some industrial applications where the working environment temperature is not high and the working time is short.

2. Ceramic RFID tags

Comparing the ceramic RFID tags with high temp RFID tags of PCB, the performance of the former is more stable. First, the RFID ceramic tags can withstand higher temperatures, up to 250 degrees. Second, under the same high temperature environment, the RFID ceramic tags can withstand high temperature longer than the PCB's, which is uneasy to damage in high temperature enviroment. And for the same volume, the performance of bare ceramic is better than PCB RFID tag's, but the price of ceramic RFID tags is slightly more expensive. Ceramic RFID tags are mainly used in embedded mold management, such as on metal part and equipment, etc., by inserting anti metal ceramic RFID tags into metal surfaces with grooves and then sealing them with glue.

3. Chemical resistant RFID tag

As long as the tag is acid and alkali resistant or chemical resistant RFID tag, whether it is a PCB RFID tags or a Ceramic RFID tags , it must be equipped with an acid and alkali resistant plastic casing and be tightly encapsulated. Such tags are our Steelcode, Steelmini and Irontrak HT. They are injection moulded in an integrated package, to complete vacuum in the inner chamber, which can withstand higher temperature and longer time. They can withstand temperatures up to 250 degrees, and are not easily damaged even if they work in a high temperature environment for a long time.

4. Abrasion and pressure resistant stainless steel metalcraft RFID tags

These tags are extremely durable RFID tags designed for long-term harsh environments. The all-metal housing design provides the best protection for embedded ceramic or PCB tags. Tags such as R-Bolt, Promass, and Promass Micro can be used almost anywhere, without any restrictions, and can withstand extremely high pressures and heat. Their rugged design makes them great in the oil and gas industry, not only can track outdoor equipment, but also can resist high temperature and high pressure, anti-drop and anti-vibration.
