SONDIX® General information

The electrical resistance of a metal conductor increases as the temperature rises. This change is reversible. For sensors, the most commonly-used metal is platinum, which retains good linearity over a wide temperature range (from -200 °C to +850 °C). Its purity and chemical inertia ensure remarkable stability.

The relationship between the platinum resistance and the temperature is:

  • Rt = R0 [1 + A.t + B.t2 + C (t -100).t3 ]
  • Rt = resistance at temperature t 
  • R0 = resistance at 0 °C 
  • t = temperature in °C 
For the quality of platinum generally used in industrial resistance thermometers, the values of the constants A, B and C are:
  • A = 3.9083 x 10 -3 °C -1 
  • B = -5.775 x 10 -7 °C -2 
  • C = -4.183 x 10 -12 °C -3 for negative temperatures and C = 0 for positive temperatures. 
The most frequently-used resistance sensor is R0 = 100 ohms (at 0 °C) and R100 = 138.5 ohms (at 100 °C). It is usually called a Pt 100 sensor.
Applicable tolerance values are defined in IEC 60751.
 
Tolerance class Tolerance (°C)
A 0,15 + 0,002(t)
B 0,30 + 0,005(t)

Tolerance class A is not used for sensors operating at above 650 °C.

Assemblies used
2-conductor cable Most frequently used but least precise as it introduces line resistance in the measurement. Must not be used for class A sensors.
3-conductor cable - Wheatstone bridge measurement Line wire resistance has little effect. Only contact resistances introduce an error.
4-conductor cable - Wheatstone bridge measurement Line resistance is eliminated. Only contact resistances introduce an error.
4-conductor cable - Kelvin measurement A current is present in the sensor. The potential difference (d.d.p) is measured at its terminals, which depends on its resistance. For this reason, only the sensor resistance has an effect on the measurement, which is more precise than previous ones.
