Although the resistance-temperature curve is relatively linear, accurately
converting measured resistance to temperature requires curve fitting. The
following Callendar-Van Dusen equation is commonly used to approximate
the RTD curve:
where
R
T
is the resistance of the RTD at temperature T.
R
0
is the resistance of the RTD at 0
°C.
A, B, and C are the Callendar-Van Dusen coefficients shown in
Table 4-1.
T is the temperature in
°C.
Table 4-1 lists the RTD types and their corresponding coefficients.
