Pt Sensors in General

Design and Function

What Is a Pt Sensor? How Is It Constructed and How Does a Pt Sensor Work?

Temperature Coefficient and Resistance

How Is the Temperature Coefficient of a Platinum RTD Element Defined?

The temperature coefficient, also referred to as the “alpha value”, is the average change in resistance between 0 and 100 °C, and calculated using the formula:

Where R₁₀₀ is the resistance at 100 °C and R₀ is the resistance at 0 °C.

What Is the Temperature Coefficient? How Can It Be Influenced and Determined?
