Custom-385 RTD D-3.
The Custom-385 RTD linearization solves the Callendar Van-Dusen equation for
positive temperatures and uses a polynomial approximation to the Callendar Van-
Dusen equation for negative temperatures. In addition to R
0
,
α
may also be
specified via NetDAQ Logger.
δ
nd
β
are fixed. These fixed coefficients are the
modified DIN 43760 coefficients that conform to ITS90:
δ
= 1.49978574
β
= 0.10863383
Figure D-1 shows the accuracy envelope for a 385 RTD that has
δ
and
β
that
match the above coefficients. Because of the error introduced by the linearization
at low temperatures, it is recommended that use of the Custom-385 RTD type be
limited to temperatures between -100 and 600°C.
