Fig. 12.1: Resistance-<strong>temperature</strong> characteristic of typical carbon-glass <strong>the</strong>rmometer<br />

(solid circles) compared with that of germanium (broken curve) and two Allen-<br />

Bradley carbon <strong>the</strong>rmometers (BB: 1/8 W; EG: 1/2 W) [Lawless (1972)].<br />

Although less stable than germanium, carbon-glass <strong>the</strong>rmometers are also less<br />

sensitive to a magnetic field, although in magnetic fields higher than 5 to 8 teslas capacitive<br />

<strong>the</strong>rmometers are preferable (see Chapter 19).
