Kelvin and Platinum Temperature Scale.

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The Kelvin and Platinum Temperature Scale serve different purposes in temperature measurement. The Kelvin scale is a thermodynamic temperature scale, while the Platinum Resistance Thermometer (PRT) uses a specific temperature scale defined by its calibration. The temperature reading from a PRT can align with the Kelvin scale, but it is essential to understand that the PRT's scale is determined by its calibration and not inherently linked to the Kelvin scale.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of thermodynamic temperature scales
  • Familiarity with Platinum Resistance Thermometers (PRTs)
  • Knowledge of temperature measurement principles
  • Basic concepts of calibration in measurement devices
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of thermodynamic temperature scales
  • Learn about the calibration process for Platinum Resistance Thermometers
  • Explore the differences between various temperature measurement devices
  • Investigate the applications of PRTs in scientific research
USEFUL FOR

Scientists, engineers, and technicians involved in temperature measurement and calibration, as well as anyone interested in the principles of thermodynamics and precision measurement devices.

Is it possible that Kelvin and Platinum Temperature Scale give same reading of Temperature?

Hello Vivek, :welcome:

Isn't one of them a definition of a temperature scale and the other the scale on a device to measure temperature ?

Hi

Yes you are right. Then tell me What is the Temperature Scale in Platinum Resistance Thermometers?

It's a device to measure temperature. The scale is whatever scale the individual device uses.
