average resistance increase per\u00a0degree of a hypothetical RTD measuring 1 \u03a9 at 0\u00b0C.\u00a0The most common use of TCR is to distinguish between curves\u00a0for platinum, which is available with TCRs ranging from 0.00375\u00a0to 0.003927. The highest TCR indicates the highest purity\u00a0platinum, and is mandated by ITS 90 for standard platinum\u00a0thermometers.\u00a0There are no technical advantages of one TCR versus another\u00a0in practical industrial applications. 0.00385 platinum is the\u00a0most popular worldwide standard and is available in both\u00a0wire-wound and thin-film elements.\u00a0In most cases, all you need to know about TCR is that it must be\u00a0properly matched when replacing RTDs or connecting them to\u00a0instruments.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section
