description This study contributes to improving the accuracy of temperature measurements with a platinum resistance temperature detector (RTD) by proposing techniques to mitigate the error due to self-heating by the operating current. An assessment of the measurement errors of the platinum RTD was carried out to study ways to improve their accuracy. High accuracy can be achieved by individual calibration using a voltage divider circuit to measure resistance, the substitution method, and the transitional measure. It was shown that each of these approaches offers potential improvements in the accuracy of temperature measurements using RTDs. However, one of the genuine limitations is the error due to heating the RTD by the operating current. To address this, both linear and nonlinear methods for correcting the error due to heating by the operating current were studied. This paper examines how these methods can be applied to mitigate the influence of self-heating on measurement accuracy. Moreover, the residual errors associated with these methods of correction were estimated. The analysis showed that while these methods can reduce the errors significantly, there remain limitations below which it is not possible to mitigate the error.
