Da. Dimitrov et al., ESTIMATION OF THIN-FILM PLATINUM THERMOMETER PRECISION IN THE RANGE 13.8-273.16-K AND COMMON MATHEMATICAL-DESCRIPTION ABOVE 70-K, Cryogenics, 36(8), 1996, pp. 599-603
The temperature-resistance dependence of 10 thin-film platinum sensors
was experimentally studied between 5 K and 300 K. A method was propos
ed for evaluating data errors in both coordinates. The orders of magni
tude of the errors for the investigated thermometers were +/-(5-8) mK
for temperature and +/-(2-3) m Omega for resistance. Common mathematic
al descriptions of T(R) and R(T) functions above 70 K and a two-point
method for individual calibration are proposed. (C) 1996 Elsevier Scie
