Best Answer

A Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) is a device with a significant temperature coefficient used as a temperature measurement device, usually by passing a low-level current through it and measuring the voltage drop. To calibrate, refer to the manual for specific instructions. In general the steps include placing the reference probe and the UUTs in the temperature source in close proximity to one another, connecting the leads to the readout, and measuring the reference probe and determining the temperature.

How can the RTD be calibrated without using a comparison thermometer?

A fairly accurate two-point calibration (if the sensing element is submersible) can be achieved by using an ice-water-salt solution to calibrate to 32F, and using boiling water to calibrate to 212F (corrected for atmospheric pressure at your location). If you live in a metric part of the world, your calibration points would be 0C and 100C, of course.
