For The total resistance deviation is obtained by combining this reason the usual graphs of R = f(T) are replaced by the “R25-tolerance” and the “resistance deviation due to Resistance Values at Intermediate Temperatures Tables, B-tolerance”. together with a formula to calculate the characteristics with a high precision. When: X = R25-tolerance FORMULAE TO DETERMINE NOMINAL Y = resistance deviation due to B-tolerance RESISTANCE VALUES Z = complete resistance deviation, X Y The resistance values at intermediate temperatures, or the then: Z = 1 + ----- x 1 + ----- – 1 x 100 or % Z ≈ X + Y 100 100 operating temperature values, can be calculated using the When: following interpolation laws (extended “Steinhart and Hart”): TCR = temperature coefficient 2 3 (A + B ⁄ T + C ⁄ T + D ⁄ T ) ΔT = temperature deviation, R(T) = Rref x e then: Δ Z T = ------ R 2 R 3 R -1 TCR T + B ln ----- + C ln ----- + D ln ----- The temperature tolerances are plotted in the graphs on the (R) = A 1 1 R 1 R 1 R ref ref ref previous page. where: Example: at 0 °C, assume X = 5 %, Y = 0.92 % and A, B, C, D, A TCR = 5.09 %/K (see table ), then: 1, B1, C1 and D1 are constant values depending on the material concerned; see table below. 5 0.92 Z = 1 + ----- x 1 + ------ - 1 x 100 % R 100 100 ref. is the resistance value at a reference temperature (in this event 25 °C, Rref. = R25). = {1.05 x 1.0092 - 1} x 100 % = 5.966 % T is the temperature in K.

A NTC with a R25-value of 10 kΩ has a value of 32.55 kΩ 0.015 °C in the range -40 °C to +25 °C. between -1.17 °C and +1.17 °C. PARAMETER FOR DETERMINING NOMINAL RESISTANCE VALUESBTOL.
