Theory is closer to practice in theory than in practice.

PT100 is 0,4 Ohm/K. Or 0.0000000004Ohm/nK. This means, at 100Ohm, you are measuring 4 parts per (american) trillion for that nK.

Good Luck and please, report how many of those digits were pure noise!



Instrumentation engineer here, but RTD is not linear?

Near linear but usually even for industrial use there is a three term polynomial correction applied.

There's a whole standard devoted to the subject, DIN/IEC 60751.

Yeah, it is nonlinear and I did apply three term ploynomial correction as per manufacturers spec sheet.
