Polynomials for temperature calculations according to ITS90

For the calculation of temperatures based on the measured thermo-electric voltage at a reference temperature of 0°C polynomials of the order of upm to 14 are used. In the following table the polynomials are shown. Additionally, we provide the polynomials in a text file. From that you can incorporate them easily into your own software.
