Operating limits and tolerances of platinum resistance thermometers per DIN EN IEC 60751 WIKA data sheet IN 00.17Page 1 of 8 Fig. centre: Glass measuring resistor Fig. right: Ceramic measuring resistor General information Temperature is a measurement for the thermal state of a material – so a measurement of the average kinetic energy of its molecules. A close thermal contact between two bodies is needed in order that these bodies adopt the same temperature (temperature equalisation). The body to be measured should be coupled as closely as possible to the temperature sensor system. The most established temperature measurement methods are based on material or body properties that change depending on the temperature. One of the most-used methods is the measurement with a resistance thermometer. This document outlines the recurrent concepts and technologies that apply to all resistance thermometers produced by WIKA. Standard version requirements, we will recommend this selection, or we thermometer. Sensor technologyThe electrical resistance of a resistance thermometer’s sensor changes with the temperature. As the resistance increases when temperature is raised, we refer to it as PTC (Positive Temperature CPt100 or Pt1000 measuring resistors are normally used for industrial applications. The exact characteristics of these measuring resistors, and the thermometers based on them, are described in this document.

Measuring resistor designs Those measuring resistors used in thermometers can be wire-wound measuring resistors (W = Wire- Wound) or Film). applied to a ceramic carrier plate. Then, connecting wires are glass. 1) High vibration resistance Very small size the temperature range or an explicit customer request exclude them. In this design, a very thin platinum wire is encased within a round protective body. This design has been well-established for decades and is accepted worldwide. insulating material. Glass measuring resistor Ceramic measuring resistor Glass measuring resistor within a glass body. The glass measuring resistor is characterised by: 1) High vibration resistance Ceramic measuring resistor The platinum wire of a ceramic measuring resistor is spiral-wound and located in a cylindrical cavity in the protective body. The ceramic measuring resistor is characterised by: 1) Limited vibration resistance

Applications Standard when using Pt1000 measuring resistors far as possible. The maximum length of the connecting cable depends on the conductor cross-section and the compensation options of the evaluation electronics (transmitter, display, controller or process control system). Applications Connecting cables up to approx. 30 m 4-wire connection result is completely eliminated since any possible asymmetries in the connecting cable’s lead resistance are also compensated.The maximum length of the connecting cable depends on the conductor cross-section and the compensation options of the evaluation electronics (transmitter, display, disconnecting the unnecessary conductors. Applications Laboratory technology Calibration technology Tolerance class A or AA Connecting cables up to 1,000 mDual sensors The combination of black and yellow is reserved for an (e.g. small diameter) dual sensors are not possible for technical reasons.
