AM1760/1762 Secondary SPRT User’s Guide 1 Introduction 1.1 Main Application AM1760/1762 Secondary Standard Platinum Resistance Thermometer (SPRT) interpolates temperature in the range from -200 °C to 670 °C on the International Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90). It works together with a readout device to measure temperature or change of temperature.
