ASTM E879 : 12

Standard Specification for Thermistor Sensors for General Purpose and Laboratory Temperature Measurements

Standard Details

1.1 This specification covers the general requirements for Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor-type sensors intended to be used for laboratory temperature measurements or control, or both, within the range from −10 to 105°C.

1.2 This specification also covers the detailed requirements for ASTM designated sensors.

1.3 This specification also covers the requirements for general purpose, Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor-type sensors intended for use with Digital Contact Thermometers (also known as Digital Thermometers) within the range from –50 to +150°C.

1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
