| Zusammenfassung: | The purpose of this guideline is to define generally valid procedures for the approximation of the characteristic curves of industrially used thermometers in order to create a uniform and industry-wide basis for the surveillance of test equipment. Likewise, the user of this guideline – i.e. the calibration laboratory as well as the user of the thermometer – shall be given instructions regarding the handling of approximation equations as well as the performance of the actual approximation. Basically, this guideline is valid for all thermometers. However, it is especially tailored to the requirements of platinum resistance thermometers (especially Pt-100), thermocouples and thermistors. As these instruments have very different measurement uncertainties, depending on the type of sensor and temperature range, this guideline has been designed for different requirements related to the measurement uncertainty. For some thermometer types (e.g. thermometers with electronic display or liquid-in-glass thermometers) the determination of a characteristic curve involves fundamental problems. The present guideline is not applicable for these types of thermometer. This guideline is not intended to develop or prescribe newer or better approximation methods or characteristic curve types than those currently in use. It rather seeks to recommend the optimum type(s) of characteristic for certain boundary conditions – such as temperature range and required measurement uncertainty – which are state of the art today. These recommendations are compatible with existing software and measuring instruments and can be easily entered or integrated. Possibly, there are other types of characteristics which are equally suited or may even be better than those described here. However, in the case of limited dissemination or practicability, other mathematical descriptions of characteristic curves should only be used in justified cases. |
