Thermometers measure temperature using thermometric properties that change predictably with temperature such as the length of a mercury column, resistance of a wire, or pressure of a gas. Different thermometers use different thermometric substances and properties to develop temperature scales based on fixed points like the melting and boiling points of water. While individual thermometer scales may disagree, defining a standard thermometric substance, property, and scale removes these disagreements. Common thermometers include liquid-in-glass, gas, resistance, thermistor, and thermocouple thermometers.

Thermistors are a type of resistor whose resistance changes significantly with temperature. They are made of semiconducting materials like metal oxides and their resistance decreases with rising temperature (NTC thermistors) or increases with rising temperature (PTC thermistors). NTC thermistors are used in applications like temperature sensors and overcurrent protection, while PTC thermistors are used in self-regulating heaters and current-limiting devices. Thermistors have a fast response time, are compact and inexpensive but have non-linear resistance-temperature characteristics and may self-heat.

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of molecules and represents the potential for heat flow. It is a fundamental parameter required for industrial processes and energy balances. There are several methods for measuring temperature, including mechanical, electrical, and optical sensors. Mechanical sensors measure expansion or pressure changes of materials with temperature, while electrical sensors measure changes in resistance, thermoelectric potential, or other electrical properties. Optical sensors measure thermal radiation emitted from hot bodies. Common temperature sensors include liquid-in-glass thermometers, thermistors, thermocouples, and platinum resistance thermometers.
Significance Of Resistance Temperature DeviceMarie-Anne Gane
An RTD (resistance temperature device) is a thermal sensor that measures temperature by relating the electrical resistivity of a material like platinum, copper, or nickel to its temperature - as a material's temperature increases, its resistivity increases in a predictable linear fashion. RTDs offer highly accurate and consistent temperature measurements and are commonly used to construct thermometers, with platinum being the most commonly used and stable material that follows a linear resistivity-to-temperature relationship over a wide range. RTDs require a stable current source and measure temperature by calculating resistance from the measured voltage.
This document provides an overview of three common temperature sensors: RTDs, thermocouples, and thermistors. It describes the basic construction and operating principles of each, including that RTDs measure temperature by changes in metal resistance, thermocouples generate voltage from dissimilar metal junctions, and thermistors exhibit large changes in resistance with temperature. Application examples and advantages/disadvantages of each sensor are also summarized.
Thermocouples are the most common temperature sensing device. They work by generating a voltage (EMF) based on the Seebeck effect from the junction of two dissimilar metals. Thermocouples are inexpensive, can withstand tough conditions, and provide point temperature measurements over a wide range from -250°C to +2500°C. They have limitations such as non-linearity and needing cold junction compensation, but remain popular for industrial and scientific temperature measurement applications.

This document provides an overview of various temperature measurement techniques, including thermocouples, RTDs, thermistors, and infrared thermometry. Thermocouples measure temperature by detecting voltage generated from dissimilar metals, while RTDs and thermistors measure changes in electrical resistance with temperature.

The document discusses key factors for each technique such as accuracy, response time, potential issues, and data acquisition system setup.
This document discusses the theory behind thermocouples and RTD temperature sensors.

This document summarizes key principles of resistance thermometry. It discusses how resistance thermometers work by using a sensor whose resistance varies with temperature. Platinum resistance thermometers are commonly used and provide absolute temperature measurements. The document describes the construction of platinum resistance thermometer sensors using platinum wire wound around mica and sealed in protective tubes. It also discusses other sensor materials like nickel and copper, as well as thermistors which use semiconducting materials with a negative coefficient of resistivity.
This document discusses various methods of temperature measurement. It begins by explaining that temperature is a subjective concept that requires objective measurement using thermometers. It then describes common temperature scales like Fahrenheit, Celsius and Kelvin.
The document discusses several methods of temperature measurement including expansion thermometers like liquid-in-glass thermometers and bimetallic thermometers which measure the expansion of materials. It also discusses electrical temperature instruments like resistance thermometers, thermocouples and thermistors which measure changes in electrical resistance or voltage with temperature. The construction and working of liquid-in-glass thermometers and resistance thermometers are explained in detail.
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a body. It determines whether a body is in thermal equilibrium with others. Temperature is measured using various devices like liquid-in-glass thermometers, thermistors, thermocouples, and resistance temperature detectors (RTDs). These devices use different principles like thermal expansion of liquids, variation of electrical resistance with temperature, and Seebeck and Peltier effects to measure temperature. Common temperature scales include Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin and Rankine, which are related through defined formulas.
Thermometry is the science of temperature measurement. There are various types of thermometers that use different principles:
1. Liquid-in-glass thermometers use thermal expansion of liquids like mercury.
2. Bimetallic thermometers use the different coefficients of thermal expansion in two metals bonded together.
3. Resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) measure the change in electrical resistance of metals with temperature. Platinum RTDs are commonly used.
4. Thermocouples generate small voltages from the Seebeck effect created by junctions of two different metals and allow temperature measurements over a wide range.
1) In the 1830s, scientists discovered that the resistivity of metals changes with temperature, forming the basis of resistance thermometry.
2) In the 1880s, platinum was proposed for use in resistance thermometers due to its stability, and it remains the primary element used today.
3) The relationship between temperature and electrical resistance in metals is nonlinear and described by polynomials, with platinum exhibiting a positive temperature coefficient of resistance.
This document discusses temperature measurement and different temperature indicators. It provides information on various temperature scales, conversion between scales, and the two main types of temperature indicators: filled bulb and bimetallic strip. It also discusses temperature transmitters such as RTDs, thermocouples, and thermistors, describing their operation, advantages, disadvantages, and appropriate applications. Special consideration is given to proper sensor installation using thermowells to protect sensors from process conditions.
This document provides information about thermocouples and RTDs (resistance temperature detectors). It states that a thermocouple consists of two dissimilar conductors that produce a voltage when there is a temperature difference between their junctions, converting heat into electrical energy. It can measure temperatures from -200°C to 2500°C. RTDs measure temperature by correlating the resistance of a platinum wire to temperature; resistance increases linearly with temperature. RTDs have better accuracy, stability, sensitivity and a linear output than thermocouples but are more expensive and have a smaller measurement range.
esistance thermometers, also called resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), are sensors used to measure temperature. Many RTD elements consist of a length of fine wire wrapped around a ceramic or glass core but other constructions are also used. The RTD wire is a pure material, typically platinum, nickel, or copper. The material has an accurate resistance/temperature relationship which is used to provide an indication of temperature. As RTD elements are fragile, they are often housed in protective probes.
Resistance thermometers are constructed in a number of forms and offer greater stability, accuracy and repeatability in some cases than thermocouples. While thermocouples use the Seebeck effect to generate a voltage, resistance thermometers use electrical resistance and require a power source to operate. The resistance ideally varies nearly linearly with temperature per the Callendar–Van Dusen equation.
The platinum detecting wire needs to be kept free of contamination to remain stable. A platinum wire or film is supported on a former in such a way that it gets minimal differential expansion or other strains from its former, yet is reasonably resistant to vibration. RTD assemblies made from iron or copper are also used in some applications. Commercial platinum grades exhibit a temperature coefficient of resistance 0.00385/°C (0.385%/°C) (European Fundamental Interval).[7] The sensor is usually made to have a resistance of 100 Ω at 0 °C. This is defined in BS EN 60751:1996 (taken from IEC 60751:1995). The American Fundamental Interval is 0.00392/°C,[8] based on using a purer grade of platinum than the European standard. The American standard is from the Scientific Apparatus Manufacturers Association (SAMA), who are no longer in this standards field. As a result, the "American standard" is hardly the standard even in the US.
Lead-wire resistance can also be a factor; adopting three- and four-wire, instead of two-wire, connections can eliminate connection-lead resistance effects from measurements (see below); three-wire connection is sufficient for most purposes and is an almost universal industrial practice. Four-wire connections are used for the most precise applications.
The document discusses several common types of temperature sensors, including thermocouples, thermistors, resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), liquid in glass thermometers, and bimetallic sensors. It provides details on the basic operating principles, advantages, disadvantages and applications of each sensor type. Thermocouples measure temperature differences using dissimilar metals and the Seebeck effect. Thermistors have a resistance that varies with temperature. RTDs use platinum wire whose resistance changes predictably with temperature. Liquid in glass thermometers use expansion of liquid along a glass tube. Bimetallic sensors use strips of two metals with different expansion rates.
The document discusses resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) and their history and use in industrial thermometers. It describes how platinum was established as the primary element in high-accuracy RTDs due to its stable relationship between resistance and temperature. The classical design of an RTD using a helical coil of platinum wire was improved upon with a "bird-cage" design that improved thermal contact and response time. Platinum remains the preferred element material for RTDs due to its stability and reproducibility, and Pt100 sensors following international standards are commonly used. The resistance-temperature relationship is nonlinear and characterized by calibration equations.

2. Qué es un RTD?
RTD stands for Resistance Temperature Detector. RTDs are
sometimes referred to generally as resistance thermometers. The
American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) has defined
the term resistance thermometer as follows:
Resistance thermometer, n. - a temperature-measuring device
composed of a resistance thermometer element, internal
connecting wires, a protective shell with or without means for
mounting a connection head, or connecting wire or other fittings,
or both. [Vol. 14.03, E 344 - 02 § 3.1 (2007).]
An RTD is a temperature sensor which measures temperature
using the principle that the resistance of a metal changes with
temperature. In practice, an electrical current is transmitted
through a piece of metal (the RTD element or resistor) located in
proximity to the area where temperature is to be measured. The
resistance value of the RTD element is then measured by an
instrument. This resistance value is then correlated to
temperature based upon the known resistance characteristics of
the RTD element.
3. Cómo funciona un RTD?
RTDs work on a basic correlation between metals and temperature. As the
temperature of a metal increases, the metal's resistance to the flow of
electricity increases. Similarly, as the temperature of the RTD resistance
element increases, the electrical resistance, measured in ohms (Ω), increases.
RTD elements are commonly specified according to their resistance in ohms at
zero degrees Celsius (0° C). The most common RTD specification is 100 Ω,
which means that at 0° C the RTD element should demonstrate 100 Ω of
resistance.
RTD elements are typically in one of three configurations: (1) a platinum or
metal glass slurry film deposited or screened onto a small flat ceramic
substrate known as "thin film" RTD elements, and (2) platinum or metal wire
wound on a glass or ceramic bobbin and sealed with a coating of molten glass
known as "wire wound" RTD elements. (3) A partially supported wound
element which is a small coil of wire inserted into a hole in a ceramic insulator
and attached along one side of that hole. Of the three RTD elements, the thin
film is most rugged and has become increasingly more accurate over time.
4. Porqué un RTD tiene 2, 3, 4 alambres de conexion?
A simple rule of thumb is that the more wires an RTD has the more accurate it is. The entire
RTD assembly is not platinum. Among other issues, constructing an RTD in that manner
would for most purposes be prohibitively expensive. As a result, only the small RTD element
itself is made of platinum.
Three wire RTDs are the most common specification for industrial applications. Three wire
RTDs normally use a Wheatstone bridge measurement circuit to compensate for the lead
wire resistance as shown below.
5. Como se conecta un RTD en un equipo de medición de temperatura?
6. Qué es un termocople?
The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) has defined the term thermocouple
as follows:
Thermocouple, n. - in thermometry, the sensor of a thermoelectric thermometer, consisting
of electrically conducting circuit elements of two different thermoelectric characteristics
joined at a junction. [Vol. 14.03, E 344 - 02 § 3.1 (2007).]
A thermocouple occurs when any two different kinds of metals joined at a junction are
exposed to a temperature gradient. When the two different metals are exposed to a
temperature gradient they generate a very small electrical charge, commonly measured in
millivolts, that correlates to the temperature to which the elements are exposed. This
phenomenon is sometimes referred to as the Seebeck effect.
7. In the United States, different letter and color code designations are defined for each
thermocouple type by the ANSI/ASTM E 230 standard. European standards are set by the IEC
which uses different color code designation for thermocouples but largely sticks with the
same letter designations
8. 1. Type J Thermocouple (Most Common): This thermocouple consists of an Iron and a Constantan leg and is perhaps
the most common thermocouple in use in the United States. The bare Type J thermocouple may be used in vacuum,
reducing, oxidizing and inert atmospheres. Heavier gauge is wire recommended for use above 1000 deg. F since the
iron leg of this thermocouple oxidizes rapidly at high temperatures.
2. Type K Thermocouple (Most Common Real Hot): This thermocouple consists of a Chromel and an Alumel leg. This
thermocouple is recommended for oxidizing or inert atmospheres up to 2300 deg. F. Cycling above and below 1800
deg. F is not recommended due to EMF alteration from hysteresis. This thermocouple is fairly accurate and stable at
high temperatures.
3. Type N Thermocouple (A Newer, Better Type K): This thermocouple consists of a Nicrosil and a Nisil leg. This
thermocouple is recommended for the same range as a Type K. It has better resistance to degradation due to
temperature cycling, green rot and hysteresis than the Type K and is typically very cost competitive with the Type K.
4. Type T Thermocouple (Most Common Real Cold): This thermocouple consists of a Copper and a Constantan leg. It
may be used in vacuum, oxidizing, reducing and inert atmospheres. It maintains good resistance to corrosion in most
atmospheres and high stability at sub-zero temperatures.
5. Type E Thermocouple (Most Common Power Application): This thermocouple consists of one Chromel leg and one
Constantan leg. This thermocouple is not subject to corrosion in most atmospheres. The Type E also has the highest
EMF per degree of any standard thermocouple type. However, this thermocouple must be protected from sulfurous
atmospheres.
6. Type B, R & S Thermocouples (Most Common Real, Real Hot): Platinum & Rhodium Thermocouples.
Recommended for use in oxidizing or inert atmospheres. Reducing atmospheres may cause excessive grain growth
and drift in calibration of these thermocouples. Types R & S may be used up to 1480 C. Type B may be used up to
1700 C.
7. Type C Thermocouple (For the Hottest of Environments): Tungsten and Rhenium thermocouple. Recommended for
use in vacuum, high purity hydrogen or pure inert atmospheres. May be used at extremely high temperatures (2316
C). This thermocouple, however, is inherently brittle.
