I'm busy building a multi-probe temperature sensor and log system using a couple of ds18b20 probes on a Raspberry Pi. They will be monitoring freezer temperatures that should be between -23°C and -18°C. I'm a little concerned about the precision of the probes though as the datasheets only give the precision between the -10°C to +85°C Range (±0.5°C). There's an error curve on page 18 here, and another almost identical one on page 20 here. Both of them however start a 0°C and only go up.(Here is the datesheet of ds18b20 http://www.componentschip.com/pdf/6a-DS18B20-T-R.pdf As I'll be operating outside of this range, how/where can I find the expected accuracy? The freezers that the probes will be monitoring are used for storing human tissue, and I'll need this before I can put forward a tender/proposal. Any Ideas?
