11.4 Measuring tolerances for resistance thermometers
Tolerance classes
The tolerance classes of the resistance thermometers are dened as follows in accordance with
IEC 60751:
Tolerance class Precision ∆t
Class B Basic accuracy ±(0.30 °C +0.0050|t[°C]|)
±1.8x0.30 °F +0.0050x|t[°F]-32|
Class A Increased accuracy ±(0.15 °C +0.0020|t[°C]|)
±1.8x0.15 °F +0.0020x|t[°F]-32|
Class AA (1/3 B) High accuracy ±(0.10 °C +0.0017|t[°C]|)
±1.8x0.10 °F +0.0017x|t[°F]-32|
Tolerances
The following tables provide an overview of the validity ranges of these tolerances. When you
use a thermometer above the specied limits, the values of the next lower accuracy class apply.
Action Tolerance Precision Range
Basic version Class B Basic accuracy -50 ... +400 °C (-58 ... +752 °F)
Class A Increased accuracy -30 ... +300 °C (-22 ... +572 °F)
Class AA (1/3 B) High accuracy 0 ... +150 °C (+32 ... +302 °F)
With increased vibra‐
tion resistance
Class B Basic accuracy -50 ... +400 °C (-58 ... +752 °F)
Class A Increased accuracy -30 ... +300 °C (-22 ... +572 °F)
Class AA (1/3 B) High accuracy 0 ... +150 °C (+32 ... +302 °F)
With extended measur‐
ing range
Class B Basic accuracy -196 ... +600 °C (-320 ... +1112 °F)
Class A Increased accuracy -100 ... +450 °C (-148 ... +842 °F)
Class AA (1/3 B) Increased accuracy -50 ... +250 °C (-58 ... +482 °F)
If an RTD will be subjected in a higher temperature as specied in the class, the sensor will be
declassied to the referring accuracy class. For enduring operation near 400 °C we recommend
the use of an extended measuring range RTD, instead of basic and increased vibration versions.
