About the site

This is a private information page about electrical temperature measurement with resistance thermometers (e.g. Pt100, Pt500, Pt1000). My experiences of many years in the field of measurement and control technology are recorded. I do not take over any liability for incorrect information and would be pleased about further suggestions and requests for additions.

Calculation formulas for Pt100 resistor

The resistance of the Pt100 sensor is calculated according to DIN EN 60751 using the following 2 formulas:
  • Temperature range: -200 to 0°C:
    Rt = R0 * (1 + A * t + B * t2 + C * (t-100) * t3)
  • Temperature range: 0 to 850°C:
    Rt = R0 * (1 + A * t + B * t2)
Rt=Resistance [Ohm] at desired temperature
R0=Nominal resistance Pt100 at 0°C = 100 Ohm
t= desired temperature [°C]
A= 3,9083 * 10-3
B= -5,775 * 10-7
C= -4,183 * 10-12
