RTD equations
The temperature vs. resistance readings listed in the RTD reference tables are calculated
using the Callendar-Van Dusen equation. There are two equations based on different
temperature ranges. There is an equation for the -200° to 0°C range and one for the 0° to
630°C range.

where: R
RTD
is the calculated resistance of the RTD
R
0
is the known RTD resistance at 0°C
T is the temperature in °C
A = alpha [1 + (delta/100)]
B = -1 (alpha)(delta)(1e-4)
C = -1 (alpha)(beta)(1e-8)
The alpha, beta, and delta values are listed in Table F-10.
