About This Product
Because its resistance hardly changes with room temperature, manganin is used to make shunt resistors and resistance standards. In the lab it also serves for resistivity measurements and for resistances that must stay steady during an experiment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is manganin used for resistance standards?
Its temperature coefficient of resistance is very low between 15°C and 35°C, so its resistance stays steady as the room temperature changes.
