7.8.9 ITS-90
The ITS-90 type is for PRTs calibrated and characterized using the Interna-
tional Temperature Scale of 1990 equations. This type of probe generally has
excellent accuracy (0.005 to 0.025°C), a wide operating range (–180°C to
420°C or higher), but may be rather expensive. The coefficients that appear
when ITS-90 is selected are “R(.01)”, “a”, “b”, “c”, “d”, “a4", and ”b4".These
should be set to the coefficient values that appear on the PRT calibration certifi-
cate according to the following table.
Unused coefficients must be set to 0.
