3.3 Functional principles
Two different measuring principles are used for measuring temperatures.
● With resistance thermometers, the temperature is measured as a change in resistance. Resistance thermometers
contain Pt100 sensor elements in accordance with IEC 60751.
● With thermocouples, the temperature is the change in voltage (Seebeck effect). The thermocouples are in accordance
with IEC 584/DIN EN 60584.
