HP compatible 5kohm thermistor temperature probe - home made

(1/4) > >>

enut11:
I have a number of 5Kohm bead thermistors and I want to measure temperature with a HP DMM.

Does anyone have access to a temp vs resistance table for the HP thermistor temperature standard?

My specific requirement is to accurately monitor the 40C temperature in a voltage reference oven so if I knew the thermistor resistance that the HP DMM expects at that temp I may be able to select some from my batch of 5K units.

Most of my 5Kohm thermistors measure around 5100-5200 ohms at 25C, ie too high for an accurate temperature indication on a HP DMM.

For the Ref oven, I will be using them over a very narrow temperature range of about 39-41C.

If I shunt the thermistor with a high value resistor to indicate the correct temperature at 40C, this may work. I have a Hanna Checktemp 1 thermometer to help.

Any other ideas?

The HP E2308A thermistor probe is still available, and not even that expensive.
The datasheet specifies "5000 ohm at 25°C, with a 25°C/125°C ratio of 29.26" which should let you calculate a response curve.

Vgkid:
The thermistor hp used was a 5kohm@25c with a beta of 3891. They were sold by YSI initially, Now sold by Omega.
If you want to go with a very close Beta Value of 3892, then your options greatly increase. With Thermistors sold by ametherm, littlefuse, measurement specialties/Betatherm/TE Connecivity.

Thanks. In this application I will have to build my own probe due to space restriction in the oven. I will look for a suitable bead thermistor.
