1 Introduction 1.1 What is Table Ware ? Table Ware is designed to calculate characterization coefficients for platinum, thermistor, and thermocouple probes. The types of coefficients that can be cal-culated are: ITS-90 for platinum probes; IPTS-68 for platinum probes;Callendar-Van Dusen for platinum...
