The Thermal Hysteresis of a Standard Platinum Resistance Thermometer

  • THERMAL MEASUREMENTS
  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

The ETS-25-type standard thermometers manufactured by a single company are investigated. It is shown that instability of the thermometers during calibration may be due to the occurrence of stresses in the platinum wire of the sensitive element, and not due to oxidation of the platinum.
