Description
AM1968 Capsule SPRT
- Rtpw Drift: < 1 mK after thermal cycle
- Temperature range: -260 °C (13K) to 100 °C (373K)
- Short term stability: <0.001 °C at 0.01 °C
- Nominal Rtpw: 25 ohm at 0 °C
AM1968 Platinum Capsule SPRT covers temperatures from -260°C to 100 °C. The capsule construction makes this SPRT a preferred primary standard for cryogenic applications and other applications where space is limited or stem conduction is a concern for a long stem SPRT.
The sensing element is made of pure platinum wires with a temperature coefficient of 0.003925 Ω/Ω/°C. The coiled platinum wires are mounted in a way that is strain free and enclosed in a platinum capsule, which is sealed by glass. The special sealing glass has a thermal expansion coefficient that matches with that of the platinum wire to ensure the capsule SPRT is sealed permanently in the entire temperature range. A uniquely designed support structure provides excellent performances of stability, mechanical shock, and thermal cycle performance. The SPRT achieves a high level of stability and repeatability in performance and fully meets ITS-90 criteria for reference thermometers.
