INDUSTRIAL PLATINUM RESISTANCE THERMOMETERS
AND PLATINUM TEMPERATURE SENSORS

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC Publication(s)"). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
IEC 60751 has been prepared by subcommittee 65B: Measurement and control devices, of IEC
technical committee 65: Industrial-process measurement, control and automation. It is an
International Standard.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2008. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous

INDUSTRIAL PLATINUM RESISTANCE THERMOMETERS
AND PLATINUM TEMPERATURE SENSORS

1 Scope
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 t /°C is used.
This document applies to platinum resistors whose temperature coefficient α, defined as
RR−
100 0
α = ,
R ⋅°100 C
-3 -1
is conventionally written as α = 3,851⋅10 °C , where R is the resistance at t = 100 °C and
R 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.

4 Characteristics
4.1 General
The nominal resistance versus temperature relationship for platinum resistors and
thermometers and their tolerance class are standardized. This specification is applied to a
sensing platinum resistor at its connecting points and to a complete thermometer at its terminals.

IEC 60751:2022 © IEC 2022 – 9 –
In the case of two-wire connections (see 5.5), the resistance values of the leads between the
connecting point of the platinum resistor and the terminals shall be considered. They shall be
subtracted from measured resistances. In some cases, it is also advisable to consider the
temperature coefficient of the lead wires, the geometrical characteristics of the wires, and the
temperature distribution along their length. This information may be supplied to users as
additional information (refer to Clause 7).
4.2 Nominal resistance versus temperature relationship
The resistance versus temperature relationships used in this document are as follows:
For the range −200 °C to 0 °C:
2 3
R = R [1 + At + Bt + C(t − 100 °C) t ]
t 0
For the range of 0 °C to 850 °C:
R = R (1 + At + Bt )
t 0
where
R is the resistance at the temperature t,
t
R is the resistance at t = 0 °C.
The constants in these equations are,
−3 −1
A = 3,908 3 × 10 °C
−7 −2
B = −5,775 × 10 °C
−12 −4
C = −4,183 × 10 °C .
4.3 Numerical table of resistance values
Table A.1 and Table A.2 are derived from the equations and coefficients specified in 4.2 for a
thermometer or platinum resistor of nominal resistance R of 100 Ω.
Table A.1 and Table A.2 are applicable to any thermometer and platinum resistor having any
value of R .
In this case, the resistance values in Table A.1 and Table A.2 shall be multiplied by the factor
R / 100 Ω.
NOTE 1 In this edition, the numerical tables given in Annex A cease to be normative; they are now informative. The
specification of this document is the formula described in 4.2 with which user can calculate numerical value of R .
t
NOTE 2 The most frequently used device has R of 100 Ω. Devices with R of 10 Ω, 500 Ω or 1000 Ω are used
0 0
frequently as well.
5 Compliance and requirements
5.1 Compliance
In order for a thermometer to be compliant with this document, it shall be made from a platinum
resistor which is compliant with this document.

– 10 – IEC 60751:2022 © IEC 2022
Platinum resistors and thermometers shall be tested to prove that the device meets all the
applicable requirements specified in this document. Suppliers shall be responsible for
conducting the tests and for proving that the device conforms to this document before
transferring the device to the user. The test method and evaluation are specified in this
document.
5.2 Tolerance classes
5.2.1 Tolerance class and its temperature range of validity
Tolerance classes are given in Table 1 for a platinum resistor and in Table 2 for a thermometer
for any value of R .
These tolerance classes are closely related to the operable temperature range. Therefore, the
temperature ranges of validity of a tolerance class are shown in the adjacent column in the
table. Temperature ranges of validity are based on the working experience with film and wire
platinum resistors.
A thermometer that has a modified tolerance or temperature range of validity can still be
compliant with this document provided it satisfies all the applicable requirements, other than
the tolerance or the temperature range of validity, and the modification is notified to the user.
Details on this are described in 5.2.3.2.
Thermometers or platinum resistors without the specified temperature range of validity for the
tolerance are not permitted in this document.
5.2.2 Tolerance class of platinum resistors
Table 1 specifies the tolerance class for platinum resistors. Tolerances and ranges of validity
that differ from values given in Table 1 shall be agreed between the supplier and the user.
