Abstract

A method for linearizing potentiometric sensors is provided, the method can include the steps of: insertion in a measurement and/or processing station of a potentiometric sensor provided with a resistive track; application of a defined voltage and/or of a defined current across the resistive track; placement of a number of sensing elements composed of metallic contacts distributed at uniform intervals over the length of the resistive track; acquisition of the individual measured values of the sensing elements and determination of the curve of the resistance of the resistive track, and linearization of the resistance of the resistive track by means of sequential adjustment of the resistance of the resistive track. A means for marking the contact points of the sensing elements is placed on the resistive track prior to the placement of the sensing elements, and then the sensing elements are placed on the means, and the means are removed once the contact points of the sensing elements have been marked, and the position of the contact points of the sensing elements is taken into account in determining the curve of the resistance of the resistive track.
