Industrial platinum resistance thermometers and platinum temperature sensors

This International Standard specifies the requirements, in addition to the resistance versus temperature relationship, for both industrial platinum resistance thermometers (later referred to as "thermometers") and industrial platinum resistance temperature sensors (later referred to as "platinum resistors") whose electrical resistance is derived from defined functions of temperature. Values of temperature in this document are in terms of the International Temperature Scale of 1990, ITS-90. A temperature in the unit °C of this scale is denoted by the symbol t, except in Table A.1 where the full nomenclature t90 /°C is used. This document applies to platinum resistors whose temperature coefficient α, defined as α= R100 − R0 R0 ⋅ 100°C is conventionally written as α = 3,851⋅10-3 °C-1, where R100 is the resistance at t = 100 °C and R0 is the resistance at t = 0 °C. This document covers platinum resistors and thermometers for the temperature range −200 °C to +850 °C with different tolerance classes. It can also cover particular platinum resistors or thermometers for a part of this temperature range. For resistance versus temperature relationships with uncertainties less than 0,1 °C, which are possible only for platinum resistors or thermometers with exceptionally high stability and individual calibration, a more complex interpolation equation than is presented in this document can be necessary. The specification of such equations is outside the scope of this document.

73 The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising

74 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote

75 international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To

76 this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,

77 Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC

78 Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested

79 in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and nongovernmental

80 organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely

81 with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by

82 agreement between the two organizations.
84 2)

85 The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international

86 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all

87 interested IEC National Committees.
89 3)

90 IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National

91 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC

92 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any

93 misinterpretation by any end user.
95 4)

96 In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications

97 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence

98 between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in

99 the latter.

123 International Standard IEC 60751 has been prepared by subcommittee 65B: Devices and

124 process analysis, of IEC technical committee 65: Industrial-process measurement, control and

125 automation.
126

127 This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2008, amendment 1

128 (1986) and amendment 2 (1995). This edition constitutes a technical revision.

129

130 The significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition are as follows:

131

132 While the temperature versus resistance relationship remains unchanged, there are several

133 changes in the other chapters. Most important are:
134

135 – formula of resistance versus temperature relationship become the standard specification and nu-

136 merical table ceases to be the standard
137 – tolerance acceptance test is slightly modified;
138 – several changes in the individual tests;

139 – numerical table of resistance versus temperature is included in the annex as a reference .

162
163 1 Scope

164 This standard specifies the requirements and resistance versus temperature relationship for indus-

165 trial platinum resistance thermometers later referred to as "thermometers" and industrial platinum

166 resistance temperature sensors later referred to as “platinum resistors” whose electrical resistance

167 is derived by defined function of temperature.

168 The standard applies to platinum resistors whose temperature coefficient α, defined as

R −R
100 0
169 ,
α =
R ⋅100°C
-3 -1

170 is conventionally written as α = 3,851⋅10 °C , where R is the resistance at t = 100 °C and R is

100 0
171 the resistance at t = 0 °C.
172

173 Values of temperature in this standard are in terms of the International Temperature Scale of 1990,

174 ITS-90. Temperatures in degrees Celsius are denoted by the symbol t, except in Table A.1 where

175 the full nomenclature t90/°C is used.

176 The standard covers platinum resistors or thermometers for all or part of the temperature

177 range -200 °C to +850 °C with different tolerance classes, which may cover restricted temperature

178 ranges.
179

180 For temperature/resistance relationships with uncertainties less than 0,1 °C, which are possible only

181 for platinum resistors or thermometers with exceptionally high stability and individual calibration, a

182 more complex interpolation equation than is presented in this standard may be necessary. The

183 specification of such equations is outside the scope of this standard.
184

185 In order for a thermometer to be compliant with this standard it shall be made from a platinum resis-

186 tor which is compliant with this standard.

297 4 Characteristics
298 4.1 General

299 The nominal resistance versus temperature relationship for platinum resistors and thermometers

300 and their tolerance class are standardized. This specification is applied to a sensing platinum resis-

301 tor at its connecting points and to a complete thermometer at its terminals.
---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
oSIST prEN IEC 60751:2021
65B/1187/CDV IEC CDV 60751/Ed3 © IEC 2020

302 In the case of two-wire connections (see 5.5) the resistance values of the leads between the con-

303 necting point of the platinum resistor and the terminals must be considered. They must be subtract-

304 ed from measured resistances. In some cases it also may be advisable to consider the temperature

305 coefficient of the lead wires, the geometrical characteristics of the wires and the temperature distri-

306 bution along their length. These information may be supplied to users as additional information (re-

307 fer to 7).
308
309 4.2 Nominal resistance versus temperature relationship

310 The resistance versus temperature relationships used in this standard are as follows:

311
312 For the range -200 °C to 0 °C:
2 3
313 R = R [1 + At + Bt + C(t - 100 °C) t ]
t 0
314
315 For the range of 0 °C to 850 °C:
316 R = R (1 + At + Bt )
t 0
317 where
318 R is the resistance at the temperature t
319 R0 is the resistance at t = 0 °C.
320
321 The constants in these equations are
322
-3 -1
323 A = 3,9083 x 10 °C
-7 -2
324 B = -5,775 x 10 °C
-12 -4
325 C = -4,183 x10 °C .
326
327 4.3 Numerical table of resistance values

328 Table A.1 is derived by applying the equations and coefficients specified in 4.2 to a thermometer or

329 platinum resistor of nominal resistance R of 100 Ω.

330 The table is applicable to any thermometer and platinum resistor having any value of R0 .

331 In this case resistance values in the Table A.1 shall be multiplied by the factor R /100 Ω.

332 Note 1 to entry; in this edition numerical table ceased to be the standard but becomes information. The specification of the

333 standard is the formula described in 4.2 with which user can calculate numerical value of R .

334 Note 2 to the entry; most frequently used device has R of 100 Ω. Devices with R of 10 Ω, 500Ω or 1000 Ω are used fre-

0 0
335 quently as well.
336 5 Compliance and requirements
337 5.1 Compliance

338 Platinum resistors and platinum resistance thermometers shall be tested to prove that the device

339 meets all the applicable requirements specified in this standard. Suppliers shall be responsible to

340 conducting the tests and to proving that the device is compliant with this standard before transfer-

341 ring the device to the user. The test method and evaluation are specified in this standard.

342 5.2 Tolerance classes
343 5.2.1 Tolerance class and its temperature range of validity

344 Tolerance classes for a platinum resistor are given in the Table 1 and for a platinum resistance

345 thermometer in the Table 2 for any value of R .

346 These tolerance classes are closely related to the operable temperature range. Therefore the tem-

347 perature ranges of validity of a tolerance class are shown in the adjacent column in the table. Tem-

348 perature ranges of validity are based on the working experience with film and wire platinum resis-

349 tors.

350 A thermometer that has wider temperature range of validity than the Table 2 can be compliant with

351 this standard provided that it meets all the applicable specifications and its temperature range is

352 declared.

353 Likewise a thermometer or a platinum resistor that has a restricted temperature range of validity

354 compared to the Table 1 or Table 2 can be compliant with this standard provide that it meets all the

355 other applicable specifications and its temperature range is declared.

356 Thermometers or platinum resistors without a temperature range of validity of tolerance are not

357 permitted in this standard.
358
359 5.2.2 Tolerance class of platinum resistors

360 Table 1 specifies tolerance class of platinum resistors. Tolerances and ranges of validity which

361 differ from values given in Table 1 shall be agreed between supplier and user.

371 5.2.3.2 Special tolerance classes of platinum resistance thermometers

372 Tolerances and ranges of validity which differ from the values given in Table 2 shall be agreed be-

373 tween supplier and user. Recommended special tolerance classes may be constructed as multiples

374 or fractions of class B tolerance. The Example 1 shown in 5.2.3.3 demonstrates this case.

375 It is also left to the suppliers and users to establish tolerance class for their thermometers at tem-

376 peratures outside the ranges in Table 2. Special tolerance classes may be defined for restricted or

377 extended temperature ranges. The Example 2 shown in 5.2.3.3 demonstrates this case.

378 Platinum resistance thermometers without specification of the temperature range of validity are not

379 permissible.
