Introduction
Resistance thermometer sensors (RTSs) and thermocouples are the temperature sensors most widely used in industrial temperature measurement. They have the advantages of simple construction and ease of use, making for convenience in measurement. However, if correct application methods based on the proper standards are not followed, highly accurate measurements cannot be expected. This document is a compendium of the basic data relating to resistance thermometer sensors and thermocouples. *This second edition reflects IEC and JIS revisions (thermocouples) of July 1995. We hope that this document will aid you in comparing the various underlying standards from an international viewpoint, and in deciding which standards to follow. This document also provides information on vital parameters such as operating temperature ranges and tolerances.

1. Resistance Thermometer Sensors

Resistance thermometer sensors (RTSs) are temperature sensors that make use of the physical property where electrical resistance in metal increases proportionally with an increase in temperature. Since platinum RTSs can be expected to provide the most accurate temperature measurement of all industrial temperature sensors, they are widely used, especially in conditions near room temperature. One of the requirements for an industrial thermometer sensor is that its performance and characteristics be guaranteed by a standard. Platinum RTSs have been standardized under JIS C 1604 ("Resistance Thermometer Sensors") and JIS C 1606 ("Sheathed Resistance Thermometer Sensors") in Japan, and standardized under IEC-751 ("Industrial Platinum Resistance Thermometer Sensors") abroad. These standards were recently revised one after another. This document explains the revisions and summarizes the essential data based on the new standards.
1.1 Overview of the IEC Revisions

IEC-751 was revised in July, 1995. The major change in this revision is to revise reference resistance in accordance with the temperatures of the 1990 International Temperature Scale (ITS-90). ITS-90 has adopted as the new International Temperature Scale since January 1, 1990 (Refer to 5. International Temperature Scale of this document). IEC had started study to revise IEC-751 reference resistance immediately after ITS-90 adoption, and finally accomplished.
1.2 Overview of the JIS Revisions

Resistance thermometer sensors JIS was revised in February, 1997. This revision made JIS C 1604 completely conform to IEC-751. The major changes are as follows. (1) JIS for Resistance thermometer sensors is uniformed to JIS C 1604 (Resistance thermometer sensors) and JIS C 1606 (Sheathed resistance thermometer sensors) is abolished. (2) Reference resistance table is revised to conform to IEC standard. In the new JIS, reference resistance table is revised in accordance with the temperatures of the 1990 International Temperature Scale (ITS-90) which is adopted in IEC standard. As for the new resistance reference resistance table, refer to Table A5 Resistance table at the end of this document. Figure 1 shows the difference between reference resistance values of JIS'89 Pt100 and those of JIS'95 Pt100. For example, when the measured temperature is 100C, the difference is +0.027C, at 300C, it is +0.083C and at 500C, 0.242C. This difference is bigger than the temperature difference between the old International Temperature Scale (IPTS-68) and ITS-90 (Refer to 5.3 Influence of ITS-90 on Industrial Thermometers). Comparing the temperature differences to the tolerances at measured value 500C, it is about one fifth of the tolerance in class A, and less than one tenth in class B, so their influence can be ignored on a practical industrial use level. However, in using digital device which resolution is 0.1C or less than that, the influence cannot be ignored. (3) JPt100, which has used for many years in Japan, is abolished. JPt100, which has unique reference resistance values of Japan, is abolished in the new JIS. With regard to JPt100, it was already announced that it would be abolished in the future at the last time revision (January, 1989). However, considering the
TI 6B0A1-01E
situation that they have been used for more than thirty years and many of them are still in use, the 1989 reference resistance table remains in the guide. It is also described in the guide that the characteristics of JPt100 are almost the same as those of Pt100 so that the quality of supplement is guaranteed. This Technical Information provides reference resistance tables of abolished JPt100, JIS'89 Pt100 and JIS'91 50(Pt50) for reference.

1.3 Types of Resistance Thermometer Sensors

The types of RTSs specified in JIS C 1604 and JIS C 1606 are standardized, as shown in Table 2, according to the standard resistance element R100/R0 value, Class, rated current, operating temperature range, and lead wire system.

Sheathed RTSs operating temperature range H is 0 to +500 C. 6. The 2-wire lead wire system is not applicable to sheathed RTSs.
1.4 Tolerances vs. Temperature

Tolerances with respect to temperature must be within the ranges in Table 3 throughout the operating temperature ranges. Table 4 shows samples of tolerance versus measured temperature. If the measured temperature t C in Table 3 includes a fractional value below the decimal point, the tolerance range includes the smaller value. To avoid the risk of disputes in judgment as a result of exceeding measurement capability, the following guidelines are used for rounding off the tolerances: In Class A the number of valid significant digits below the decimal point is two, rounded down from three. In Class B the number of valid significant digits below the decimal point is one, rounded down from two.

1.6 Copper Resistance Thermometer Sensors

There are no standards for copper RTSs in JIS, and they have been little used in general industry, but they are found in rotating electrical equipment, primarily to measure temperatures of coils, bearings, etc. The following shows the nominal resistances and the standard resistance element Rt/Ro standardized in JEM 1252 (Japan Electrical Manufacturers Association) for RTSs in rotating electrical equipment.

2. THERMOCOUPLES
Thermocouples sense temperatures based on the principle that an electrical current is generated when two different metals are combined in a closed circuit and subjected to a temperature difference; they are widely exploited in industry due to their simple construction and excellent reliability. There are many types of thermocouples in use. Those which are the most widely used, whose characteristics are understood, and which have demonstrated their reliability, have become the objects of standardization. This document deals primarily with those thermocouples standardized in the JIS, plus other typically used thermocouples that have been field-proven in particular applications.
2.1 Overview of the JIS '95 Revisions

JIS standards related to thermocouples were revised as of July 1, 1995. The major purpose of this revision is to make these JIS standards conform to the international standard IEC 584. Thermocouple codes, thermal EMF, and tolerance classes were revised to match IEC584, so JIS standard data are consistent with the standards used abroad now. The major changes are "N thermocouple is newly stipulated" and "standard thermal EMFs revised". As shown in Figure 1, the difference between JIS'89 and JIS'95 thermal EMFs will have little effect on industrial temperature measurement.

Revised Value of Thermal EMF
TI 6B0A1-01E
2.2 Types of Thermocouples

In most cases, a thermocouples type is indicated by a code. Since the codes specified in JIS conform to the IEC standards, they are shared with other international standards, in particular with DIN (Germany) and ANSI (United States) [See Table 10]. Table 8 shows the codes, component materials, operating limits, and other features of thermocouples standardized in JIS. Table 9 shows representative non-JIS-standard-thermocouples in practical use.

2.3 Thermal EMF Characteristics

The standard thermal EMFs of the various thermocouple types are shown in Appendix Tables B1 through B19. Because JIS C 1602-1995 was written to be consistent with the standards used in other countries, particularly IEC, ANSI, etc., this is beneficial when importing and exporting. However, attention is required since the DIN standard adopts its own unique specifications for Type U and Type L. Table 10 gives a list of the standard thermal EMF document selections for the individual national and international standards. Equations for interpolation of standard thermal EMFs are provided for reference at the end of this document.

Note: 1. Thermocouple materials are noemally supplied to meet the manufacturing tolerances specified in the table for temperatures above -40 C. These materials, however, may not fall within the manufacturing tolerances for low temperatures given under class 3 for types T, E, K and N. If thermocouples are required for meet limits of class 3, as well as those of class 1 or 2 the purchaser shall state this, as selection of materials is usually required.

2.6 Thermocouple operating Limits

Normal operating limits are the temperatures that are generally recommended for continuous use in air. Overheat operating limits are the temperatures for short-period use not sharply defined limiting temperatures, but rather those at which operations for the times indicated in Table 13 will not result in thermal EMF changes greater than the values also shown in that table for continuous operation in clean air.

2.7 Thermocouple Leadwire Resistances

Although electronic instruments almost unaffected by thermocouple leadwire resistance, it can cause problems in the case of moving coil instruments and may require compensation, so the user should follow any directions given in the manual for the instrument. Table 14 shows thermocouple resistance R0 at 0C, and resistance R20 at 20C. Table 15 shows the resistance ratios Rt/R20 and Rt/R0, between resistance values R20 and R0 and resistance value Rt at tC. When compensating for this resistance with moving-coil instruments, it is customary to treat half of the thermocouples specified length as being at the operating temperature, and the other half as the room temperature.

4. EXTENTION AND COMPENSATING CABLE

Table 21 shows the types (codes), component materials, operating temperatures, tolerances and colors for compensating cable. In the revision of JIS C1610 (Compensating cable) of July 1995, types (codes), operating temperatures, tolerances, and colors were changed. Especially for the color of the cable cover, Division 1 is newly added to conform to IEC standard. However, the former JIS color regulation still remains as Division 2 so as not to cause accidents due to the color change when expanding or retrofitting existing systems. Use Division 2 as necessary. Usage classification is shown in Table 22. Since operating temperature high limit extended to 200C, FEP (teflon) is newly added to insulator types. As usage classification is determined by insulator material, conditions are described in the notes of Table 22. Table 23 shows insulator resistance. Standard values differ according to the materials.

5. INTERNATIONAL TEMPERATURE SCALE

5.1 International Temperature Scale Plan
As with other physical quantities, because temperatures must be expressed the same internationally, they are expressed with a temperature scale based on a resolution passed at a general meeting of the International Weights and Measures Committee. The old international temperature scale, the 1968 International Practical Temperatures Scale (IPTS-68), was revised by the 78th International Weights and Measures Commuitee in September of 1989 based on a resolution from the 18th general meeting of the International Weights and Measures Committee which met in 1987. The 1990 International Temperature Scale (ITS-90) was adopted as the new international temperature scale, and has been in effect internationally since January 1,1990. These changes in the international temperature scale solved problems found in IPTS-68 through advances in measurement technology centering on the latest thermodynamic temperature measurements. The international temperature scale plan is guided by the following three principles: (1) The plan specifies repeatable thermal equilibrium states, which are assigned temperatures to define fixed points. (2) The plan assigns a standard thermometer for each temperature range, calibrated to the defining fixed points. (3) The plan establishes interpolation formulas that decide the relationships between temperatures (international temperatures) and standard thermometer indicated temperatures (output values) in order to interpolate between the defining fixed points. Although the temperature concepts are based on thermodynamic temperatures, since absolute measurement of thermodynamic temperatures is not possible, improvements that bring the international temperature scale closer to thermodynamic temperatures are a matter of repetition along with progress in measurement techniques. Gas and radiation thermometers are used as thermodynamically well-defined thermometers in the measurement of thermodynamic temperatures. However, although a gas thermometer in principle determines thermodynamic temperature from a comparison of pressure at ideal states using ideal gasses, in fact since no ideal gas actually exists and an ideal state cannot be perfectly attained, we can only arrange conditions close to the ideal and add corrections to the best of our ability to determine the true values. Thus, in keeping with progress in measurement techniques, corrections are incorporated into the temperatures of the defining fixed points. Previously, a new international temperature scale had been adopted roughly every twenty years. The ITS-90 now in use has been adopted as an attempt to faithfully arrive at the thermodynamic temperatures using state-of-the-art techniques. However, because advanced techniques were required to achieve ITS-90, these endeavors are entrusted to the techniques of specialists at organizations studying temperature measurements.

TI 6B0A1-01E
5.2 Essentials of the 1990 International Temperature Scale (ITS-90)

ITS-90 is intended to solve certain problems found in the 1968 International Practical Temperature Scale (IPTS-68). The main corrections are as follows: (1) The low temperature range is expanded, and is defined to 0.65K. (2) The range previously defined by thermocouples (630.74 to 1064.43C) is replaced by a range up to 961.78C defined using a platinum resistance thermometer, while the range above 961.78C is defined using a radiation thermometer. (3) The defining fixed points have been changed, with the boiling points of oxygen, water, and neon being eliminated and replaced by several triple points and freezing points, and the temperatures at the defining fixed points overall have been changed. The relationship between the defining fixed points of the ITS-90 and the instruments for interpolation is shown in Table 25. Because the temperatures for the defining fixed points have changed overall, the t90-t68 Temperature Difference shown in Table 26 has been changed based on these definition changes

5.3 Influence of ITS-90 on Industrial Thermometers

Because industrial thermometers conform to JIS, the temperature differences due to definition changes, and their relationship to JIS, are matters of importance. Since the temperature differences accompanying definition changes are small, on a practical level their influence can be ignored (see Figure 4). The areas where the effects of ITS-90 become a problem for the temperature related JIS standards are in the standard thermal EMF tables for thermocouples, and the standard resistance are in the standard thermal EMF tables for thermocouples, and the standard resistance tables for resistance thermometers sensors. Because the temperatures for the current standard tables are regulated by IPTS-68, the switch to ITS-90 requres that these be changed by the temperature difference (t90 - t68). Because the JIS tolerances for temperature sensors are specified with respect to the standard tables, the influence of ITS-90 becomes clear when the temperature differences due to definition changes are compared to the tolerances. The maximum temperature difference due to a definition change in the region up to 1100C is + 0.36C at 780C. The value of this corresponds to 11% of the tolerance (3.1C) of a Class 0.4 thermocouple, and can, in practice, be ignored. Although for a Class 0.25 thermocouple the change at 780C reaches nearly half of the tolerance, this presents no problems because Class 0.25 applies only to Types R and S thermocouples, and these are usually used at 1000C and above. The operating limits for RTSs are 650C for Pt100, and 500C for JPt100. The largest change in the range up to 650C is 0.115C at 600C; this value is 10% of the tolerance of + 1.35C for a Class A type, and can be ignored in practice. Although as explained above there is no problem in viewing the transition to ITS-90 as having no practical effect on industrial thermometry, there are instances in which the application of ITS-90 required for precision measurements such as temperature measurement in scientific research for determining physical constants. In such cases, temperature measurements should be converted according to the values in Table 26.
