PT1000 RTD Resistance Table: Complete Chart (-200°C to 850°C) per IEC 60751
August 08 , 2026
Direct Answer
A PT1000 RTD measures exactly 1000.00 Ω at 0°C and 1385.05 Ω at 100°C under the IEC 60751 standard curve (α = 0.003855 °C⁻¹). Near 0°C, the temperature sensitivity is 3.85 Ω/°C—exactly ten times that of a standard PT100. This 10× resistance multiplier reduces lead-wire resistance error by ~90% in two-wire installations, making PT1000 the industrial standard for long-cable HVAC and remote sensing setups.
A PT1000 is a Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) fabricated from high-purity platinum exhibiting a nominal resistance ($R_0$) of 1000.00 Ω at 0°C. It follows the exact same normalized temperature-resistance relationship as the classic PT100 element, scaled up by a factor of 10.

The standard resistance-temperature curve of platinum RTDs is mathematically specified by the Callendar-Van Dusen (CVD) equation:
For $t \ge 0^\circ\text{C}$: $$R(t) = R_0 \cdot \left(1 + A \cdot t + B \cdot t^2\right)$$
For $t < 0^\circ\text{C}$: $$R(t) = R_0 \cdot \left[1 + A \cdot t + B \cdot t^2 + C \cdot (t - 100) \cdot t^3\right]$$

European IEC 60751 ($\alpha = 0.00385$) vs. Legacy American/JIS Curves ($\alpha = 0.00391$)
Always verify the temperature coefficient ($\alpha = \frac{R_{100} - R_0}{100 \cdot R_0}$) specified by your transmitter firmware or system lookup tables. Mismatching a 0.00385 table with a legacy 0.00391 sensor introduces a severe non-linear measurement offset exceeding 1.8°C at 300°C.
5. IEC 60751 Accuracy Tolerance Classes (Class AA to Class C)
The standard defines four tolerance classes based on maximum allowed temperature deviation $\Delta t$ (°C):
Tolerance classes strictly govern zero-hour factory calibration. In continuous thermal cycling tests ($1000\text{ hours}$ at $400^\circ\text{C}$), high-quality thin-film PT1000 sensors exhibit an additional thermal drift of $<0.04^\circ\text{C}/\text{year}$. In applications requiring high precision over 10+ years, recalibration intervals must account for long-term drift independent of initial tolerance class.
6. Lead Wire Resistance Error Math: 2-Wire vs. 3-Wire vs. 4-Wire
In a 2-wire circuit, the transmitter measures the sum of element resistance ($R_{\text{RTD}}$) plus double the lead resistance ($2 \cdot R_{\text{lead}}$). Because copper cable exhibits a positive temperature coefficient (~0.39%/°C), lead resistance introduces a direct temperature error offset:
Temperature Error (°C) = (2 * R_lead) / Sensitivity (Ω/°C)

7. Self-Heating Limits and Excitation Current Rules
Excitation current ($I_{\text{exc}}$) flowing through a PT1000 dissipates power as thermal energy ($P = I^2 \cdot R$). The resulting temperature rise above ambient is dictated by the dissipation constant $E_k$ ($\text{mW/}^\circ\text{C}$):
