To predict Thermistor Resistance - the spreadsheet needs an expression for ßeta. This expression is derived from the formula for R2 published in the data sheets. How the formula for R2 becomes a formula for ßeta - is explained below.


Formula To Calculate The Temperature Constant Of A Thermistor


  Where: -

  1. R1 is the resistance in ohms at t1 (°K)
  2. R2 is the resistance in ohms at t2 (°K)
  3. ß is the temperature constant
  4. Deg K = Deg C + 273
  5. e = 2.7184
