EXAMPLE:
The measurement range is –100°C to +200°C for a 3-wire Pt100 RTD connection. Determine the values for RS, RG, RLIN1, and RLIN2. Look up the values
from the chart or calculate the values according to the equations provided.
METHOD 1: TABLE LOOK UP
For TMIN = –100°C and ∆T = –300°C, the 1% values are:
RZ = 60.4Ω
RG = 243Ω
RLIN1 = 10.5kΩ
RLIN2 = 13kΩ
Calculation of Pt100 Resistance Values
METHOD 2: CALCULATION
(according to DIN IEC 751)
Step 1: Determine RZ, R1, and R2.
Equation (1) Temperature range from –200°C to 0°C:
RZ is the RTD resistance at the minimum measured temperature,TMIN = –100°C.
Using equation (1) at right gives RZ = 60.25Ω (1% value is 60.4Ω).
R(T) = 100 [1 + 3.90802 • 10–3 • T – 0.5802 • 10–6
T2 – 4.27350 • 10–12 (T – 100) T3]
•
R2 is the RTD resistance at the maximum measured temperature, TMAX = 200°C.
Using equation (2) at right gives R2 = 175.84Ω.
Equation (2) Temperature range from 0°C to +850°C:
R1 is the RTD resistance at the midpoint measured temperature,
TMID = (TMIN + TMAX)/2 = 50°C. R1 is NOT the average of RZ and R2.
Using equation (2) at right gives R1 = 119.40Ω.
R(T) = 100 (1 + 3.90802 • 10–3 • T – 0.5802 • 10–6 • T2)
where: R(T) is the resistance in Ω at temperature T.
T is the temperature in °C.
Step 2: Calculate RG, RLIN1, and RLIN2 using equations above.
NOTE: Most RTD manufacturers provide reference tables for
resistance values at various temperatures.
RG = 242.3Ω (1% value is 243Ω)
RLIN1 = 10.413kΩ (1% value is 10.5kΩ)
RLIN2 = 12.936kΩ (1% value is 13kΩ)

LINEARIZATION
RTD temperature sensors are inherently (but predictably)
To maintain good accuracy, at least 1% (or better) resistors
should be used for RG. Table I provides standard 1% RG
nonlinear. With the addition of one or two external resistors,
resistor values for a three-wire Pt100 RTD connection with
R
LIN1 and RLIN2, it is possible to compensate for most of this
linearization.
nonlinearity resulting in 40:1 improvement in linearity over
the uncompensated output.
