% File: Cantherm_RT.txt % What: Thermistor data for Cantherm CWF 4B 103G3380 % Note: This thermistor used w/ Resonon+PIXIS=FISH specs in Sep-2012 % Date: 29-Jan-2013, by: M.Feinholz/MLML % % Ref: http://www.cantherm.com/products/thermistors/rt_characteristics.html % % Calculating the resistance of a thermistor % B or beta value is the thermal exponent of the NTC thermistor, which % is defined as the ratio of the difference between the napierian % logarithms of the zero power resistance at two temperatures to the % difference between the reciprocals of the two temperatures. % % You can calculate the RT2 using this formula: % B = ln (R_T1/ R_T2) / (1/T1 - 1/T2) = (T1*T2)/(T2-T1) * ln(R_T1/R_T2) % Here: % B = 3380 % T1 = 298.15 K (25°C) % RT1 = 10Kohm % T1 and T2 are expressed in K with T(K) = T(°C) + 273.15 % % Contents: % R-T Characteristics of Common Specs Unit: KOhm % Column 1 = Temperature (degC) % Column 2 = R25 at 10KOhm, for B(25/50 degC) = 3380 % -30 111.3 -25 86.39 -20 67.74 -15 53.39 -10 42.45 -5 33.89 0 27.28 5 22.05 10 17.96 15 14.68 20 12.09 25 10.00 30 8.313 35 6.941 40 5.828 45 4.912 50 4.161 55 3.537 60 3.021 65 2.589 70 2.229 75 1.924 80 1.669 85 1.451 90 1.266 95 1.108 100 0.9735 105 0.8574 110 0.7579
