S.3 Calibration Procedures
Before performing the measurement, the test !PRT must be undergone preconditioning procedure
and then allow the temperature to ambient temperature.
- During the calibration process, thermometer is required to immerse at least 10 times of
thermometer sheathKs diameter plus sensor length below the liquid surface.(normally the
immersion depth should be 1S0 mm to 200 mm)
- The immersion depth and measurement results shall be recorded in the result sheets.
- The !PRTs can be calibrated either from the lowest to the highest calibration point of the
range or vice versa.
- The suggestion is it should be started from maximum temperature to the minimum
temperature.
8.3.1 Before starting the first calibration point, set the temperature at 0 C (or 0.01C).
8.3.2 Wait until the reference standard reading stabilized then record readings on the calibration
worksheet.
Record the ice point (0C) or WTP readings before and after measurement cycle. The
difference in ice-point reading is hysteresis (thermal cycling short term stability) in the
uncertainty budget.
For normal !PRT, apply the proper sensing current as required by customer, if no specific
current the sensing current of 1 mA should be applied for S to 10 set of measurements, the
following measurement sequence at least 10 min. and record should be followed:

APPENDIX A PRTJIPRT Calibration Characteristic
This calibration guideline provides calibrations of industrial thermometers over the range from O +0 C
to SS0 C. The different types of thermometers include industrial platinum resistance thermometers
(!PRTs) and platinum resistance thermometer ( PRTs) can be performed by both comparison with an
!TS-90 calibrated standard platinum resistance thermometer (SPRT) calibrated on the !nternational
Temperature Scale of 1990 and by a limited number of fixed-points.
The comparison baths are liquid baths alcohol ( O 80C to 1C), water (0.SC to100 C), oil (S0C to
2S0C), and salt (1S0C to SS0C).
The fixed points may be used are the melting point of ice (0 C), the triple point of water (0.01C),
and the melting point of gallium (29.76+6C).
The temperature measurement system for the reference SPRT it is a commercially-available digital
thermometer andfor ac resistance ratio bridge, for the !PRTs.
All of these temperature measurement systems are integrated via the computer data acquisition
systems that semi-automate calibrations. This paper presents the methods, equipment, and
uncertainties associated with the calibration of industrial thermometers in the Temperature
Laboratory.
The calibration report provides an !TS-90 based table of measured bath or fixed-point temperature
versus thermometer resistance, calibration uncertainties, and the thermometer calibration
coefficients.
The !PRTf PRT calibrations are performed by following the instruction on the EN D!N 607S1.
The typical !PRTKs nominal resistance values at 0 C, R
0
, are normally 100 O
The !PRT calibrations results are present in the form of the interpolation equations defined in !TS-90.

APPENDIX C Uncertainty Calculation
Calibration of a Pt resistance thermometer
The measurement
The !ndustrial Platinum Resistance Thermometer (!PRT) which nominal value about 100 O at 0 C,
had been calibrated by comparing with Standard Platinum Resistance Thermometer and a high
precision calibrated digital thermometer.
The resistance of the !PRT being calibrated was measured using the + - terminal input of the high
precision digital thermometer.
The two probes were immersed at approximately 200 mm immersion depth and compared in stirred
liquid baths (water and oil) over the range 0 C to 2S0 C.
Neasurements at 0 C were done only at the start and finish of the sequence.
The model
The aim in calibration is to obtain the correction C:
C = A I
X
= I
5
- I
X
; (1)
where I
5
is the `true' temperature derived from the calibrated reference sensor (corrected for its
calibration) and I
X
is the value of temperature given for the !PRT by:
I = a(w-1) + D(w-1)
2
+ (w-1)
3
; (2)
Where:
w = P
I
, P
U
P
I
and P
U
are the resistances of the !PRT at temperature I and at 0 C, respectively.
NIMT-CNL-SP No. 401
Page 1S of 20
The minimum uncertainty components should be considered are described below:
Reference temperature (Uncertainty contribution of the standard)
1. Calibration of reference thermometer:
Standard thermometer (SPRTs or PRTs) was calibrated with reported uncertainty of 6 mK
(Ui = 6 mK) over the range 0 C to +20 C.
The stated coverage factor was 2 (corresponding to v
i
= . : table of Student's values ).
2. Use of thermometer (ThermometerKs drift):
The drift in calibration was the only contribution that needed consideration. !n this example,
an uncertainty of 2 mK, based on history of the thermometer is chosen.
Noreover, drift is thought more likely to be linear (rectangular distribution) so, U

was taken
as the half-width 2 mK, half the extent of possible drift for the period, and the reducing factor
K as 1.732. Being a reasonable estimate, v
i
= .
3. Calibration of standard digital thermometer:
The calibration uncertainty corresponding to term of temperature was 1 mK (U = 1 mK)
over the range 0 C to +20 C and the calibration was done at an ambient temperature of 23
2 C.
The stated coverage factor was 2 (corresponding to v
i
= . : table of Student's values ).
+. Drift of standard digital thermometer:
The drift of digital thermometer over period of using corresponding to temperature was + mK
and the reasonable uncertainty ( U

= + mK) is considered rectangular with K

= 1.732 and
v
i
= .
S. Type A uncertainty in mean reading :
For example at 100 C the observed range ( P) of data displayed on the digital thermometer
was 0.1 mK over (nominally) 30 readings
The uncertainty calculated as U

= 0.1 mK (for n ~30, K

= 2 and v
i
= .).
NIMT-CNL-SP No. 401
Page 16 of 20
The IPRT
6. Stability of !PRT at 0 C:
!ce point measurements of the !PRT at the start and finish of the calibration sequence differed
by 0.+ mO which corresponding to temperature of about 1 mK.
Consider this value as a reflection of short-term instability in the sensor and assume it was due
to linear drift. !ts effect was assumed rectangular with U

= 0.S mK, K

= 1.732and v
i
= .
7. Type A uncertainty in mean reading :
The standard deviation of UUC resistance measurement at 100 C observed on the digital
thermometer can be translated to the values of temperature 0.1 mK over (nominally) 30
readings
The uncertainty calculated translate to the values as U

= 0.1 mK (for n ~30, K

= 2 and
v
i
= .).
8. Calibration of Digital Thermometer ( or DNN)
The 1 kO range of the Digital Thermometer or DNN had been calibrated at an ambient
temperature of 23 2C.
The calibration uncertainty was 3 ppm , based on a coverage factor of 2.
The DNN was used for the measurements P
I
at 100C, P
I
= 139O, and the corresponding
expanded uncertainties for the calibration are 0.+m O which corresponding to ~ 1 mK.
9. Drift of Digital Thermometer ( or DNN)
The Digital Thermometer or DNN was used under the same conditions (ambient
temperature, integration time, etc) that applied during its calibration, so drift was the only
relevant component. Such drift would already have been included in item 8, above.
10. Resolution of Digital Thermometer (DNN)
The resolution uncertainty is half the least count of 0.1 mO. (corresponding to 0.26 mK)
!t would affect both resistance measurements, in the sense that it represents the lower limit
for uncertainty in their measurement. So, apply it once and use the largest sensitivity
coefficient, that for Ro. The uncertainty would have a rectangular distribution with ki = 1.732.
!n this example this component have been already included in item 7, above.
11. Linearity of Digital Thermometer (DNN)
This uncertainty component is also included in the uncertainty of calibration.
NIMT-CNL-SP No. 401
Page 17 of 20
Fluid Bath and Furnace
12. Temperature difference (both uniformity and instability of baths and furnace): assume the
spatial variation in the oil bath at 100 C was assessed as 10 mK over the region in which
PRT sensors are generally placed for calibration, being the maximum difference between any
two temperatures measured in the region. !t was assumed from this that there was a 9S
chance that the temperature difference between any two probes was within the range 10
mK, i.e., U = 10 mK.
Interpolation Function Fitting
13. Fitting and interpolation: calibrations were done at six temperatures, from which six values of
C were obtained, scattering about zero. The approximately range of C values at 100 C was
20 mK, so we have U = 10 mK. This selects the goodness of fit for the chosen cubic.
Uncertainty calculation Using the above values, the calculation of expanded uncertainty
proceeds as follows:
the combined standard uncertainty, u
c
= 9,1 mK
the number of effective degrees of freedom, v
eff
> 200
the coverage factor, k = 2,0
the expanded uncertainty, U = 18,2 mK.
so after rounding of expanded uncertainty, U = 18 mK.
