Posted on Feb 6, 2014

This article explains how platinum resistance temperature detectors (PRTDs) can perform measurements over wide temperature ranges of -200 °C to +850 °C, with absolute accuracy and repeatability better than ±0. 3 °C, when used with modern processors capable of resolving nonlinear mathematical equation quickly and cost effectively. This article is the second installment of a

series on PRTDs. For the first installment, please read application note 4875, High-Accuracy Temperature Measurements Call for Platinum Resistance Temperature Detectors (PRTDs) and Precision Delta-Sigma ADCs.  This article explains how to achieve high-performance precision, wide-range temperature measurement for platinum resistance temperature detectors (PRTDs), using a data-acquisition system (DAS) comprised of a delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and a modern processor. This DAS offers high performance, yet is cost effective. The development DAS presented here resolves design and mathematical challenges quickly and achieves precision temperature measurement in the PRTD`s maximum range (-200 °C to +850 °C). Platinum resistance temperature detectors, or PRTDs, are absolute temperature-sensing devices that can assure repeatable measurements over temperature ranges of -200 °C to +850 °C. Platinum, moreover, is very stable and not affected by corrosion or oxidation. PRTDs thus provide optimal performance for precision industrial and medical applications that require precise temperature measurements. 1 PRTDs are nearly linear devices. Depending on the temperature range and other criteria, you can make a linear approximation by calculating the PRTD resistance change over a temperature range of -20 °C to +100 °C. 1 For a wider temperature range (-200 °C to +850 °C) and for higher accuracy, however, the...
