Temperature

Temperature Coefficient and Resistance

How Is the Temperature Coefficient of a Platinum RTD Element Defined?

The temperature coefficient, also referred to as the “alpha value”, is the average change in resistance between 0 and 100 °C, and calculated using the formula:

temperature coefficient formula

Where R100 is the resistance at 100 °C and R0 is the resistance at 0 °C.
