1  Introduction 

 

1.1  Main Application 

AM1640 Precision Industrial Platinum Resistance Thermometer (PRT)

 

is an interpolating instrument converting temperature to resistance. It 
works together with readout device to measure temperature or change 
of temperature. It has wide applications for dry-wells or temperature 
baths. 

1.2  Main Features 

 

High accuracy: 0.035 ºC at 0°C 

 

Temperature range: 

-200 °C to 420 °C  

 

Durable and shock resistance  

1.3  Calibrations 

It is recommended to calibrate this PRT annually over the full 
temperature range. In between annual calibrations, user can check the 
drift rate by comparing Rtpw against the last calibration results. Refer 
to specifications section for normal drift rate.
