    Rafhan Rafael
    This document discusses temperature measurement instruments and calibration. It focuses on thermocouples and resistance temperature detectors (RTDs). Thermocouples consist of two dissimilar metals joined together that produce a voltage corresponding to temperature. The four most common thermocouple types are J, K, T, and E. RTDs contain resistors that change resistance with temperature and are made of materials like platinum, nickel, or copper. Proper sensor selection depends on factors like required accuracy, temperature range, and application environment.

    Thermocouple

    What is
    Thermocouple?
    A thermocouple is a sensing
    device manufactured for
    measuring temperatures. It
    consists of two dissimilar metals,
    joined together at both ends,
    which produce a small EMF
    voltage at a given temperature
    .

    Thermocouple
     A thermocouple consists of two pieces of dissimilar metals with their ends
    joined together (by twisting, soldering or welding).

     When heat is applied to the junction, a voltage, in the range of milli-volts


    (mV), is generated. A thermocouple is therefore said to be self-powered.

     Heating the measuring junction of the thermocouple produces a voltage


    which is greater than the voltage across the reference junction.

    Resistive Temperature Devices

    What is RTD?
    Resistance Temperature
    Detectors (RTDs) are
    temperature sensors that
    contain a resistor that changes
    resistance value as its
    temperature changes.

    They have been used for many


    years to measure temperature
    in laboratory and industrial
    processes, and have
    developed a reputation for
    accuracy, repeatability, and
    stability

    02/13/2015
    Introduction of RTD
    • Incorporates pure metals or certain alloys that increase in resistance as
    temperatures increases.

    • Platinum, Nickel and Copper are the most commonly used (pure
    metals)

    • Tungsten and Nickel alloys are also used.

    • Pt100 is a common RTD type made of platinum and its resistance in


    0°C is 100 ohms.

    02/13/2015
    • A change in temperature
    will cause an RTD heat
    or cool, producing a
    proportional change in
    resistance.

    02/13/2015
    Characteristic RTD

    • These metals are best suited for RTD


    application because of the linear
    resistance temperature characteristic.
    • The high coefficient of resistance, an
    their ability to withstand temperature
    cycle.
    • Platinum wire is preferred for
    precision because
    • it resists contamination and corrosion,
    • it mechanical and electrical properties are
    stable over long period.

    Air & Gas Measurement

    OmEGA’s RTD-805

    Air and Gas Stream Measurements Air and gas stream measurements
    are a challenge because the rate of transfer of temperature from the
    fluid to the sensor is slower than for liquids. Therefore, sensors
    specifically designed for use in air or gas place the sensing element
    as close to the media as possible.
