Newport 6000 - Table 7 - Thermistor Constants; Table of Constants

Chapter 5 Temperature Controller Operation 65
In practice we have found that the constants A, B and C for virtually all common
thermistors lie within a narrow range. Consequently, we have defined the constants
C1, C2, C3 as follows:
C1 = A * 10
+3
C2 = B * 10
+4
C3 = C * 10
+7
The constants C1, C2, and C3 may all be expressed in the form n.nnn simplifying
entry into the 6000.
If high accuracy is not required, the Steinhart-Hart equation may be simplified to a
first order polynomial:
1/T = A' + B' * Ln R
This equation is easier to solve and often provides adequate results. The table also
shows that the use of the simplified equation introduces temperature errors of less
than 0.5°C over the range -20 °C to 50 °C. Once the constants A' and B' are
determined, the 6000 is programmed with the following values of C1, C2 and C3:
C1 = A' * 10
+3
C2 = B' * 10
+4
C3 = 0.000
5.4.4.1.7 Table of Constants
We have listed some common thermistors and included the appropriate calibration
constants for the temperature range -20 °C to 50 °C in Table 7. The Model 6000, by
default, uses the BetaTHERM 10K3A2 thermistor values.
