PT100 resistance table: full chart (-200 to 850 °C) per IEC 60751

Aug 14, 2026

A PT100 reads 100.00 Ω at 0 °C and 138.51 Ω at 100 °C, an average slope of 0.385 Ω per °C. The tables below give every 10 °C step from -200 to 850 °C, calculated from the Callendar-Van Dusen equation per IEC 60751 / DIN EN 60751.

What the numbers mean

A PT100 is a platinum resistance temperature detector with nominal resistance R0 = 100.00 Ω at 0 °C. Its temperature coefficient α is 0.003851 °C⁻¹. Every PT100 follows the same normalized platinum curve as a PT1000, scaled by a factor of 10.

Reference point	PT100 resistance	PT1000 resistance	Sensitivity ΔR/ΔT
-200 °C (cryogenic limit)	18.52 Ω	185.20 Ω	~0.431 Ω/°C
0 °C (ice point)	100.00 Ω	1000.00 Ω	0.385 Ω/°C
100 °C (steam point)	138.51 Ω	1385.06 Ω	0.375 Ω/°C
850 °C (upper limit)	390.48 Ω	3904.81 Ω	~0.247 Ω/°C

The equations behind the table

The standard resistance-temperature curve of platinum RTDs is specified by the Callendar-Van Dusen equation per IEC 60751:

For t ≥ 0 °C:
R(t) = R0 × (1 + A·t + B·t²)

For t < 0 °C:
R(t) = R0 × [1 + A·t + B·t² + C·(t - 100)·t³]

Coefficient	Value	Unit
R0	100.00	Ω
A	3.9083 × 10⁻³	°C⁻¹
B	-5.775 × 10⁻⁷	°C⁻²
C	-4.183 × 10⁻¹²	°C⁻⁴ (used only below 0 °C)

Standard European curve (α = 0.00385) vs legacy curves

The table above uses α = 0.003851 °C⁻¹, the European standard adopted by IEC 60751, DIN EN 60751, and ASTM E1137. Legacy American (α = 0.00392) or Japanese (JIS C1604, α = 0.003916) sensors have higher resistance at 100 °C (139.16 to 139.20 Ω). Mixing an α = 0.003916 sensor with an α = 0.00385 lookup table causes a positive reading error that grows with temperature (~1.6 °C at 300 °C).

IEC 60751 tolerance classes for PT100

IEC 60751 defines four tolerance classes that bound the permitted temperature deviation |Δt| in °C:

Class	Tolerance formula (±°C)	Valid range (Thin-film)	Valid range (Wire-wound)	Error @ 0 °C	Error @ 100 °C
Class AA (F0.1)	0.10 + 0.0017×\|t\|	0 to 150 °C	-50 to 250 °C	±0.10 °C (±0.039 Ω)	±0.27 °C (±0.102 Ω)
Class A (F0.15)	0.15 + 0.0020×\|t\|	-30 to 300 °C	-100 to 450 °C	±0.15 °C (±0.059 Ω)	±0.35 °C (±0.133 Ω)
Class B (F0.3)	0.30 + 0.0050×\|t\|	-50 to 500 °C	-196 to 600 °C	±0.30 °C (±0.117 Ω)	±0.80 °C (±0.303 Ω)
Class C (F0.6)	0.60 + 0.0100×\|t\|	-50 to 600 °C	-196 to 600 °C	±0.60 °C (±0.234 Ω)	±1.60 °C (±0.607 Ω)

PT100 or PT1000: same curve, different error budget

Comparison of 2-wire 3-wire and 4-wire RTD wiring configurations for PT1000 sensors

PT100 and PT1000 share the same normalized curve shape. Because a PT100's resistance is 10 times lower, its sensitivity is 0.385 Ω/°C compared to 3.85 Ω/°C for a PT1000. This makes lead wire resistance 10 times more critical on a PT100:

Wiring setup	PT100 temperature error (30m 24AWG, ~5.04 Ω)	PT1000 temperature error (30m 24AWG, ~5.04 Ω)
2-wire	~13.1 °C (Unusable without zeroing)	~1.31 °C
3-wire	~0.05 to 0.13 °C (Depends on lead balance)	~0.005 to 0.013 °C
4-wire	<0.01 °C (Lead resistance fully cancelled)	<0.01 °C

When you should still specify PT100

Legacy PLC / DCS systems: Older analog input cards only support PT100.
High excitation current tolerance: A PT100 dissipates less self-heating power at a given current (P = I²R). Standard 1.0 mA excitation generates 0.1 mW on PT100 vs 1.0 mW on PT1000.
High-vibration ceramic wire-wound elements: Available in broader mechanical configurations.

Element construction: thin film, ceramic and glass

Thin film vs wire wound PT1000 RTD element construction comparison

Construction	Temperature range	Vibration resistance	Best suited for
Thin-film	-50 to 500 °C	High	HVAC, automotive, high-volume OEM probes
Glass wire-wound	-220 to 400 °C	Moderate	Cryogenic applications, chemical immersion
Ceramic wire-wound	-200 to 850 °C	Moderate	High-temperature furnaces, calibration standards

Can a PT100 run on a PT1000 transmitter?

No. Connecting a PT100 to a channel configured for PT1000 causes a major underflow fault. The transmitter expects ~1000 Ω at 0 °C and sees ~100 Ω, interpreting it as an open circuit or severe under-temperature fault. Reconfigure the input channel type in the transmitter settings first.
