Resistance stability of thin film platinum resistance thermometers produced by PRIBOR Ltd., Koprivshtitza, Bulgaria was investigated 30 months after their thermal stabilization. A three-point calibration method for the range between 13.8 K and 273.16 K is proposed. The optimum conditions necessary for an adequate individual calibration of the investigated sensors are defined. Mathematical descriptions of the $T(R)$ and the $R(T)$ functions between 13.8 K and 273.16 K are suggested using a new weighted least squares method.
