Methods for Evaluating the Condition of Platinum Resistance Thermometers (130.23 KB)

Standard platinum resistance thermometers (SPRTs) and secondary platinum resistance thermometers (PRTs) are fragile and are often inadvertently damaged by severe conditions or even routine use. It is very important for a user to know what kind of damaged has occurred, and whether it is possible to restore the thermometer to a nearly normal condition. In this paper, methods for evaluating the condition of SPRTs and PRTs are presented and discussed.
