The relationship between the measured variable (temperature) and the resistance<br />

value is shown on a graph.<br />

The designation of the various PTC sensor elements is standardized and<br />

comprises:<br />

a) the material of the sensor element<br />

b) its resistance at 0 °C<br />

e.g. Ni 1000<br />

Nickel sensor element<br />

1000 Ω resistance at 0 °C.<br />

e.g. Pt 100<br />

Platinum sensor element<br />

100 Ω resistance at 0 °C.<br />

NTC sensors<br />

The characteristic curve of the NTC sensor<br />

is not linear.<br />

The measuring ranges are defined by the<br />

manufacturer.
