16. Polynomials calculation for PT100 and Thermistor
This section will explain how to create your own polynomials to be applied when you are using
other PT100 or TH10K components with different specifications.
In fact any sensor can be linearised using the following approach.
When selecting the pre-defined PT100 or TH10K in the analog section it uses the pre-defined
polynomials to calculate the output in ˚C.
Kipp & Zonen uses a particular PT100 or TH10K which can be purchased in different classes,
behaving differently to temperature changes.
Therefore its vital to create a perfect polynomial to have a correct and reliable output.
Each component has his own behavior.
The next two illustration, Figure 1 and 2, will describe the behaviour of a PT100 and TH10K which
we use at Kipp & Zonen and can be located inside most product manuals :
