Equation for 0 °C to 850 °C temperature range
R
RTD
= R
0
(1 + AT + BT

)
where:
• R
RTD
is the calculated resistance of the RTD
• R
0
is the known RTD resistance at 0 °C
• T is the temperature in °C
• A = alpha [1 + (delta/100)]
• B = –1 (alpha)(delta)(1E-4)
The alpha and delta values are listed in the following table.
