IEC 751 PRT Utility

More Info, Accuracy and a Disclaimer

Calculate Temperature for Resistance Input Temperature is calculated for the coefficient values shown below. You can enter calibration data to calculate custom coefficients and then use these values to convert ohms to Celsius, the resistance / temperature relationship is defined, for the range -200°C to 0°C Rt=Ro[1 + At + Bt² + C(t-100°C) t³] for the range 0°C to 850°C Rt=Ro(1 + At + Bt²) Convert Resistance to Temperature

Calculate Custom Probe Coefficients Use either standard values from IEC-751 (default), enter values or enter a probes calibration data to calculate values for a particular probe. For this form you need two suitable temperature / resistance points and either the resistance at 0°C or 0.01°C. Entering a third temperature, below 0°C will allow the C coefficient to be calculated. This is only used for temperatures less than 0°C and both T3/R3 and C can be ignored for temperatures above 0°C

It can convert resistance values to temperature for 100-ohm platinum resistance thermometers, at best it will agree with IEC-751 values to the order of 0.01C from -200 to 850C.

The default coefficients are those specified in IEC-751 (1995). If you enter resistance / temperature data for a particular thermometer then probe specific coefficients can be calculated. The accuracy will vary for particular probes and the suitability of the user entered data.

IEC 751 permits a tolerance at 650°C of 1.45°C for Class A and 3.6°C for Class B, with suitable input data and a reproducible probe the utility could be expected to provide agreement to the order of 0.1°C or better for small temperature ranges.

After entering data you can store the information for subsequent visits to the page.
