Stability of industrial-grade platinum resistance thermometers in the range 77 – 273 K

The paper pays attention to stability of 10 two-lead industrial-grade 100 Ω platinum resistance thermometers used in the temperature range from 77 to 273 K. The static stability was checked by the method of storing the thermometers for about two years, the dynamic stability was tested by the method of cycling the thermometers in 25 cycles from room temperature to the temperature of liquid nitrogen. it has been found that the static instability of the thermometers ranged within + 2.5 to + 7.7 mK only one thermometer showed –2.5 K The dynamic instability ranged within –5 mK to –80 mK only one thermometer showed +35 mK.
