4. Callendar-Van Dusen Equation & Curve Variations

The standard resistance-temperature curve of platinum RTDs is mathematically specified by the Callendar-Van Dusen (CVD) equation:

For $t \ge 0^\circ\text{C}$: $$R(t) = R_0 \cdot \left(1 + A \cdot t + B \cdot t^2\right)$$

For $t < 0^\circ\text{C}$: $$R(t) = R_0 \cdot \left[1 + A \cdot t + B \cdot t^2 + C \cdot (t - 100) \cdot t^3\right]$$

Coefficient Value (IEC 60751) Engineering Unit

$R_0$ 1000.00 Ω

$A$ $3.9083 \times 10^{-3}$ °C⁻¹

$B$ $-5.775 \times 10^{-7}$ °C⁻²

$C$ $-4.183 \times 10^{-12}$ °C⁻⁴

European IEC 60751 ($\alpha = 0.00385$) vs. Legacy American/JIS Curves ($\alpha = 0.00391$)

Always verify the temperature coefficient ($\alpha = \frac{R_{100} - R_0}{100 \cdot R_0}$) specified by your transmitter firmware or system lookup tables. Mismatching a 0.00385 table with a legacy 0.00391 sensor introduces a severe non-linear measurement offset exceeding 1.8°C at 300°C.

Coefficient	Value (IEC 60751)	Engineering Unit
$R_0$	1000.00	Ω
$A$	$3.9083 \times 10^{-3}$	°C⁻¹
$B$	$-5.775 \times 10^{-7}$	°C⁻²
$C$	$-4.183 \times 10^{-12}$	°C⁻⁴

5. IEC 60751 Accuracy Tolerance Classes (Class AA to Class C)

The standard defines four tolerance classes based on maximum allowed temperature deviation $\Delta t$ (°C):

Class Tolerance Formula ($\pm^\circ\text{C}$) Validity Range Error @ 0°C Error @ 100°C

Class AA (F0.1) $0.10 + 0.0017 \cdot |t|$ -50°C to 250°C $\pm 0.10^\circ\text{C}$ ($\pm 0.39\ \Omega$) $\pm 0.27^\circ\text{C}$ ($\pm 1.02\ \Omega$)

Class A (F0.15) $0.15 + 0.0020 \cdot |t|$ -100°C to 450°C $\pm 0.15^\circ\text{C}$ ($\pm 0.59\ \Omega$) $\pm 0.35^\circ\text{C}$ ($\pm 1.33\ \Omega$)

Class B (F0.3) $0.30 + 0.0050 \cdot |t|$ -196°C to 600°C $\pm 0.30^\circ\text{C}$ ($\pm 1.17\ \Omega$) $\pm 0.80^\circ\text{C}$ ($\pm 3.03\ \Omega$)

Class C (F0.6) $0.60 + 0.0100 \cdot |t|$ -196°C to 600°C $\pm 0.60^\circ\text{C}$ ($\pm 2.34\ \Omega$) $\pm 1.60^\circ\text{C}$ ($\pm 6.07\ \Omega$)

Focusens Engineering Lab Note: Long-Term Drift Disclosure

Tolerance classes strictly govern zero-hour factory calibration. In continuous thermal cycling tests ($1000\text{ hours}$ at $400^\circ\text{C}$), high-quality thin-film PT1000 sensors exhibit an additional thermal drift of $<0.04^\circ\text{C}/\text{year}$. In applications requiring high precision over 10+ years, recalibration intervals must account for long-term drift independent of initial tolerance class.

Class	Tolerance Formula ($\pm^\circ\text{C}$)	Validity Range	Error @ 0°C	Error @ 100°C
Class AA (F0.1)	$0.10 + 0.0017 \cdot \|t\|$	-50°C to 250°C	$\pm 0.10^\circ\text{C}$ ($\pm 0.39\ \Omega$)	$\pm 0.27^\circ\text{C}$ ($\pm 1.02\ \Omega$)
Class A (F0.15)	$0.15 + 0.0020 \cdot \|t\|$	-100°C to 450°C	$\pm 0.15^\circ\text{C}$ ($\pm 0.59\ \Omega$)	$\pm 0.35^\circ\text{C}$ ($\pm 1.33\ \Omega$)
Class B (F0.3)	$0.30 + 0.0050 \cdot \|t\|$	-196°C to 600°C	$\pm 0.30^\circ\text{C}$ ($\pm 1.17\ \Omega$)	$\pm 0.80^\circ\text{C}$ ($\pm 3.03\ \Omega$)
Class C (F0.6)	$0.60 + 0.0100 \cdot \|t\|$	-196°C to 600°C	$\pm 0.60^\circ\text{C}$ ($\pm 2.34\ \Omega$)	$\pm 1.60^\circ\text{C}$ ($\pm 6.07\ \Omega$)

6. Lead Wire Resistance Error Math: 2-Wire vs. 3-Wire vs. 4-Wire

In a 2-wire circuit, the transmitter measures the sum of element resistance ($R_{\text{RTD}}$) plus double the lead resistance ($2 \cdot R_{\text{lead}}$). Because copper cable exhibits a positive temperature coefficient (~0.39%/°C), lead resistance introduces a direct temperature error offset:

Temperature Error (°C) = (2 * R_lead) / Sensitivity (Ω/°C)

Sensor Type Sensitivity @ 0°C 30m 24AWG Copper Lead ($2 \cdot R_{\text{lead}} \approx 5.04\ \Omega$) Resulting Lead Error

PT1000 RTD 3.85 Ω/°C 5.04 Ω added ~1.31°C Error

PT100 RTD 0.385 Ω/°C 5.04 Ω added ~13.09°C Error

Sensor Type	Sensitivity @ 0°C	30m 24AWG Copper Lead ($2 \cdot R_{\text{lead}} \approx 5.04\ \Omega$)	Resulting Lead Error
PT1000 RTD	3.85 Ω/°C	5.04 Ω added	~1.31°C Error
PT100 RTD	0.385 Ω/°C	5.04 Ω added	~13.09°C Error

7. Self-Heating Limits and Excitation Current Rules

Excitation current ($I_{\text{exc}}$) flowing through a PT1000 dissipates power as thermal energy ($P = I^2 \cdot R$). The resulting temperature rise above ambient is dictated by the dissipation constant $E_k$ ($\text{mW/}^\circ\text{C}$):
$$\Delta T_{\text{self-heat}} = \frac{I^2 \cdot R}{E_k}$$

Medium & Flow State Typical $E_k$ Self-Heat at 1.0 mA ($P = 1.0\text{ mW}$) Self-Heat at 0.1 mA ($P = 0.01\text{ mW}$)

Still Air ~2 mW/°C +0.50°C Error +0.005°C (Negligible)

Stirred Water / Liquid ~30-100 mW/°C +0.01°C to +0.03°C +0.0001°C

Rule of Thumb: Limit excitation current to $\le 0.3\text{ mA}$ for PT1000 elements operating in air or gas streams.

Medium & Flow State	Typical $E_k$	Self-Heat at 1.0 mA ($P = 1.0\text{ mW}$)	Self-Heat at 0.1 mA ($P = 0.01\text{ mW}$)
Still Air	~2 mW/°C	+0.50°C Error	+0.005°C (Negligible)
Stirred Water / Liquid	~30-100 mW/°C	+0.01°C to +0.03°C	+0.0001°C

8. Thin-Film vs. Wire-Wound PT1000 Construction

Construction Type Standard Temperature Range Vibration Resistance High-Temperature (>500°C) Behavior

Thin-Film (Platinum on Ceramic) -50°C to 500°C (Special up to 600°C) High (Solid State Substrate) Substrate stress may cause baseline drift above 500°C.

Wire-Wound (Helical Coil in Ceramic/Glass) -200°C to 850°C Moderate (Coil strain sensitive) Highly stable up to 850°C; low thermal hysteresis.
