Tolerance & Accuracy

    SDI supplies detectors with tolerance values of Bands 1 to 5, In accordance with International Specifications, or to other specifications requested by the customer. Band 5 detectors have a tolerance of plus or minus 0.01 ohms a 0°C, equivalent to plus or minus 0.025 °C. The following table illustrates how SDI Bands relate to DIN/IEC International Standards.

      DETECTOR TOLERANCE CHART

      This chart illustrates the tolerance applicable for international specifications together with the SDI BANDS 1 to 5. At higher temperatures, the tolerance deviation is most affected by variation of ALPHA values, rather than accuracy at 0°C. For detectors manufactured by SDI, typical ALPHA deviation is less than ±0.000003 °C-1.
