The relationship between the temperature and the electrical resistance is characterised by
polynomials, which are also dened in DIN EN 60751. Furthermore, this standard lays down the
basic values in °C stages.

This table represents the calibration process with predened temperatures. This means if a temperature stan-
dard is available, the resistance value of the test piece must lie within the limits specied above.
