    THERMOCOUPLE

    In 1821 Thomas Johann Seebeck found that a circuit made from two dissimilar metals, with

    junctions at different temperatures would deflect a compass magnet. Seebeck initiallybelieved this was due to magnetism induced by the temperature difference. However, it was

    quickly realized that it is an electrical current that is induced, which by Ampere's law deflects

    the magnet

    DEFINITION

    When two wires composed of dissimilar metals are joined at both ends and one of the ends is

    heated, there is a continuous current which flows in the thermoelectric circuit. This effect is

    known as the PeltierSeebeck effect or thermoelectric effect (See in Figure 1)

    Figure 1: The Seebeck effect

    If this circuit is broken at the centre, the net open circuit voltage (the Seebeck voltage) is afunction of the junction temperature and the composition of the two metals. (See in Figure 2)

    Figure 2: The Seebeck voltage (eAB)

    All dissimilar metals exhibit this effect. The most common combinations of two metals are

    listed in the table below, along with their important characteristics. (Listed in Table 2)

    For small changes in temperature the Seebeck voltage is linearly proportional to temperature:

    TeAB =

    Where (the Seebeck coefficient) is the constant of proportionality.

    MEASURING THERMOCOUPLE VOLTAGE

    The Seebeck voltage cannot be measured directly because the thermocouple must be

    connected to a voltmeter, and the voltmeter leads themselves create a new thermoelectric

    circuit as it shown in Figure 3.

    Figure 3: Measuring junction voltage with a DVM

    v1voltage cannot be measured directly because by connecting the voltmeter in an attempt to

    measure the output of Junction J1, the voltmeter creates two more metallic junctions: J2and

    J3.as shown in Figure 4.

    Figure 4: To Figure 3 equivalent circuit

    Since J3 is a copper-to-copper junction, it creates no thermal Electromotive Force (EMF)

    (v3= 0) but J2is a copper-to-constantan junction which will add an EMF (v2) in opposition to

    v1. The resultant voltmeter reading v will be proportional to the temperature difference

    between J1 and J2. This means that the temperature at J1 cannot be found before the

    temperature of J2

    THE REFERENCE JUNCTION

    One way to determine the temperature of J2is to physically put the junction into an ice bath,forcing its temperature to be 0C and establishing J2 as the reference junction. Since both

    voltmeter terminal junctions are now copper-copper, they create no thermal EMF and the

    reading v on the voltmeter is proportional to the temperature difference between J1 and J2.

    (See Figure 5):

    Figure 5: External reference junction

    Now the voltmeter reading is:

    )()( 2121 JJ ttvvv =

    If we specify TJ1in degrees Celsius:

    11 15.273)( JJ tCT =+

    Then v becomes:

    )0()()]15.273()15.273[( 1212121 ==++== JJJJJ TTTTTvvv

    1JTv =

    This protracted derivation has been used to emphasize that the ice bath junction output (v2) is

    not zero volts. It is a function of absolute temperature.

    By adding the voltage of the ice point reference junction the reading of v has been referenced

    to 0C. This method is very accurate because the ice point temperature can be precisely

    controlled. The ice point is used by the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) as the

    fundamental, reference point for their thermocouple tables, so with help of the NBS tables it

    can be converted directly from voltage v to Temperature TJ1.

    The copper-constantan thermocouple (Figure 5) is a unique example because the copper wire

    is the same metal as the voltmeter terminals. Using a different wire, such as iron-constantan

    (Type J) thermocouple, the iron wire increases the number of dissimilar metal junctions in the

    circuit, as both voltmeter terminals become Cu-Fe thermocouple junctions. If both front panel

    terminals are not at the same temperature, there will be an error. For a more precise

    measurement the copper voltmeter leads should be extended so that the copper-to-iron

    junctions are made on an isothermal block (Figure 6).

    Figure 6: Removing junctions from DVM terminals

    The isothermal block is an electrical insulator but a good heat conductor and it serves to hold

    J3and J4at the same temperature. The absolute block temperature is unimportant because the

    two Cu-Fe junctions act in opposition. The equation is still

    REFERENCE CIRCUIT

    If the ice bath is replaced with another isothermal block and the extra Fe wire in the negative

    lead is eliminated by combining the Cu-Fe junction (J4) and the Fe-C junction (JREF) the two

    isothermal blocks can be joined to each other as shown in Figure 7.

    If the new block is at reference temperature (TREF) and the output voltage (v) has not been

    changed it can be shown again that

    The extra junction can be eliminated by using the principle of intermediate metals. This

    empirical rule states that a third metal (in this case, iron) inserted between the two dissimilar

    metals of a thermocouple junction will have no effect on the output voltage as long as the two

    junctions formed by the additional metal are at the same temperature. (See Figure 8)

    Figure 8Principle of intermediate metals

    With the use of this principle the iron (Fe) wire in the negative lead can be eliminated as

    shown in Figure 9.

    Figure 9: Eliminating the reference junction

    In this circuit (shown in Figure 9) the )( 1 REFTTv = equation is still valid. Junctions J3and

    J4now become the reference junctions and therefore the temperature of the isothermal block

    (TREF) can be measured directly with a Thermistor or an RTD and that information can be

    used to compute the unknown temperature (TJ1).

    To synthesize an ice-point reference either hardware compensation has to be used which is

    fast but restricted to one thermocouple type per card or software compensation which requiresmore computer manipulation time but is versatile and accepts any thermocouple.

    VOLTAGE-TO-TEMPERATURE CONVERSION

    The temperature-voltage relationship of a thermocouple is not linear therefore the conversion

    between voltage and temperature is not simple either. There are two ways to perform the

    temperature-to-voltage conversion.

    Method A

    This technique uses a power series polynomial. The thermoelectric voltage is calculated fromthe equation below:

    Where:

    E is the thermoelectric voltage in microvolts;

    na is the type-dependent polynomial coefficients;

    T is the temperature in C;n is the order of polynomial (the number of terms in the polynomial).

    The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has tables of polynomial

    coefficients for each type of thermocouple. In these tables the coefficients, order, valid

    temperature ranges for each list of coefficients, and error range are shortlisted. Some types of

    thermocouples require more than one table of coefficients to cover the entire temperature

    operating range.

    Two techniques can be used to convert thermocouple reference junction temperatures into

    millivolts. Generally it can be said that the power series method is more accurate and has

    fewer errors than linear approximation, on the other hand linear approximation is faster. Insome cases even the power series method might cause major errors. In this case the gravity of

    the errors can be reduced by increasing the number of terms (or their order). Figure 11

    includes coefficient tables that convert temperature values to the appropriate thermoelectric

    voltages using lower order polynomials

    Figure 10: Voltage to temperature conversion with the method of power series and linear approximation [20]

    Method B

    This method of conversion uses an equation that represents a linear approximation of the

    temperature versus thermoelectric voltage function over a limited temperature range (0C-50C):

    bxmy +=

    Where:

    m is a constant which represents the slope of the temperature versus thermoelectric voltage

    line;

    b is the offset voltage.

    All thermocouple types listed by NIST have an offset voltage equal to zero therefore term bcan be dropped. The temperature range selected for the linear approximation must represent

  • 8/10/2019 Temperature Measuremnts

    10/22

    10

    the operating extremes of the reference junction. The accuracy of the voltage approximation is

    increased by physically limiting the reference junction temperature range by housing it in a

    temperature-controlled chamber (zone box).

    Voltage-to-Temperature Conversion

    The first operation in converting the measured thermoelectric voltage (V) to an equivalent

    temperature value is the algebraic addition of the voltage measured at the reference junction

    terminals and the calculated reference junction voltage. The sum represents an approximation

    of the thermoelectric voltage generated at the temperature-sensing junction (J1in Figure 9).

    The calculated thermoelectric voltage generated at J1 is converted into an equivalent

    temperature value using a power series polynomial along with type-dependent coefficient

    tables. The power series polynomial takes the form:

    nn EaEaEaEaaT ++++= ...3322110

    Where:

    E = thermoelectric voltage (microvolts)

    an= type-dependent polynomial coefficients

    T = temperature (C)

    n = order of polynomial

    NIST publishes three tables for each thermocouple type containing coefficients representing

    quadratic- (second order), cubic- (third order), or quartic (fourth order) forms. Voltage-to-

    temperature conversion accuracy can be increased by using higher order coefficient tables, butat the cost of longer processing time to perform the calculations. Accuracy can be further

    enhanced by selecting tables representing the narrowest temperature range for the specific

    measurement application.

    BASIC STRUCTURE OF THERMOCOUPLES

    8. Signal input processor

    When using thermocouples in practice there are three important properties to be considered to

    avoid large errors: wire size, location of the thermocouple and the length of the thermocouple

    probe.

    Selecting the wire size used in the thermocouple sensor depends upon application. Generally,

    when longer life is required for higher temperatures, larger size wires should be chosen. When

    sensitivity is the prime concern, smaller sizes should be used.

    Since the heat conduction from the hot junction of the thermocouple must be minimized, the

    thermocouple probe must last long enough. Unless there is sufficient immersion, readings will

    be low. It is suggested that the thermocouple be immersed for a minimum distance equivalent

    to four times the size of the outside diameter of a protection tube or well.Thermocouples should always have a definite temperature relationship to the work load.

    Usually, the thermocouple should be located between the work load and the heat source and

    off approximately 1/3 of the distance between the work load and the heat source.

    THERMOCOUPLE MOUNTING

    There are four common ways in which thermocouples are mounted within a stainless steel or

    Inconel sheath and electrically insulated with mineral oxides (See in Figure 12). Each method

    has its advantages and disadvantages.

    Figure 12: Thermocouple Sheath Options [21]

    Sealed and Isolated from Sheath: Good, relatively trouble-free arrangement. The principal

    reason for not using this arrangement for all applications is its sluggish response time - the

    typical time constant is 75 seconds.

    Sealed and Grounded to Sheath: Can cause ground loops and other noise injection, but

    provides a reasonable time constant (40 seconds) and a sealed enclosure.

  • 8/10/2019 Temperature Measuremnts

    12/22

    12

    Exposed Bead: Faster response time constant (typically 15 seconds), but lacks mechanical and

    chemical protection, and electrical isolation from material being measured. The porous

    insulating mineral oxides must be sealed.

    Exposed Fast Response: Fastest response time constant, typically 2 seconds but with fine

    gauge of junction wire the time constant can be 10-100ms. In addition to problems of theexposed bead type, the protruding and light construction makes the thermocouple more prone

    to physical damage.

    THERMOCOUPLE CALIBRATION

    The aim of the measurement: to accomplish a temperature versus voltage calibration curve of

    a thermocouple.

    Steps of measurement: The Cold Junction has to be put into the ice bath while the hot junction

    (measuring junction) has to be put into the electronic thermostat. At each setting point one has

    to wait until the temperature sets in (delay time). If the temperature is stable the voltage can

    be read from the display of the voltage divider.

    The temperature range of the measurement is from 0 to 100C and it is has to be done within

    5 or 10C divisions.

    The result of the measurement has to be notified in a table

    Analysis of the results of the measurement and accomplishment of the calibration curve

    1. The calibration curve has to be defined/figured2. The measuring errors have to be rated3. The function of the calibration curve has to be calculated with Ordinary Least

    Squares (OLS)

    4. The result has to be compared to the data of a thermocouple catalog

    The determination of the time constant at cooling and heating

    1. The junction has to be replaced from the ice bath to the 100C thermostat.2. The heating curve and the heating curve related time constant have to be

    defined.

    THE RTD

    DEFFINITION

    Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs) rely on the predictable and repeatable phenomena

    of the electrical resistance of metals changing with temperature. This discovery has beenmade by Sir Humphrey Davy the same year that Seebeck discovered the thermoelectric effect.

    The temperature coefficient for all pure metals is of the same order - 0.003 to 0.007C

    .

    The most common metals used for temperature sensing are platinum, nickel, copper and

    molybdenum (Listed in * -average temperature coefficient over the 0 to 100C temperature range

    Table 3). While the resistance - temperature characteristics of certain semiconductor and

    ceramic materials are used for temperature sensing, such sensors are generally not classified

    as RTDs.

    RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS

    The common values of resistance for a platinum RTD range from 10 ohms for the bird-cage

    model to several thousand ohms for the film RTD. The single most common value is 100

    ohms at 0C. The DIN 43760 standard temperature coefficient of platinum wire is = 0.00385. For a 100 ohm wire this corresponds to + 0.385 ohms/C at 0C. This value for is actually the average slope from 0C to 100C. Most chemically pure platinum wiresused in platinum resistance standards have an of + 0.00392 ohms/(ohmC).Both the slope and the absolute value are small numbers. The measurement wires leading to

    the sensor may be several ohms or even tens of ohms. Small lead impedance can contribute a

    significant error to the temperature measurement (See in Figure 13).

    Figure 13: Effect of lead resistance

    Ten ohm lead impedance implies an 10/0.385 26C error in the measurement. Even the

    temperature coefficient of the lead wire can cause a measurable error. The classical method of

    avoiding this problem has been the use of a Wheatstone bridge (See in Figure 14).

    Figure 14: Wheatstone bridge

    The bridge output voltage is an indirect indication of the RTD resistance. The bridge requires

    four connection wires, an external source, and three resistors that have a zero temperaturecoefficient. To avoid subjecting the three bridge-completion resistors to the same temperature

    as the RTD, the RTD is separated from the bridge by a pair of extension wires (See in Figure

    15):

    Figure 15: Wheatstone bridge with a pair of extended wires

    These extension wires recreate the same problem: The impedance of the extension wires

    affects the temperature reading. This effect can be minimized by using a three-wire bridge

    configuration as shown in Figure 16.

    Figure 16: Three-wire bridge

    If wires A and B are perfectly matched in length, their impedance effects will even out

    because each is in an opposite leg of the bridge. The third wire, C, acts as a sense lead and

    carries no current. The Wheatstone bridge shown in Figure 16 creates a non-linear

    relationship between resistance change and bridge output voltage change. This compounds the

    already non-linear temperature-resistance characteristic of the RTD by requiring an additional

    equation to convert bridge output voltage to equivalent RTD impedance.

    4-Wire Ohms - The technique of using a current source along with a remotely sensed digital

    voltmeter alleviates many problems associated with the bridge (See in Figure 17).

    Figure 17: Four-wire ohms measurement

    The output voltage read by the DVM is directly proportional to RTD resistance, therefore

    only one conversion equation is necessary. The three bridge-completion resistors are replaced

    by one reference resistor. The digital voltmeter measures only the voltage dropped across the

    RTD and is insensitive to the length of the lead wires.

    The one disadvantage of using 4-wire ohms is that compared to the 3-wire bridge one extra

    extension wire is needed but the accuracy of the temperature measurement is increased.

    3-WIRE BRIDGE MEASUREMENT ERRORS

    If Vs and V0 are known, Rg can be found and then it can be solved for temperature. The

    The error term will be small if V0 is small, i.e., the bridge is close to balance. This circuit

    works well with devices like strain gauges, which change resistance value by only a few

    percent, but an RTD changes resistance dramatically with temperature.

    If the measuring of RL is not possible or the bridge cannot be balanced, the basic 3-wire

    technique is not an accurate method for measuring absolute temperature with an RTD. A

    better approach is to use a 4-wire technique.

    RESISTANCE TO TEMPERATURE CONVERSION

    The RTD is a more linear device than the thermocouple, but it still requires curve-fitting. The

    Callendar-Van Dusen equation has been used for years to approximate the RTD curve:11. 13

    RTDs have: fast response time, low thermal shunting and high self-healing error; large RTDs

    on the other hand have slow response time, poor thermal shunting and low self-healing error.

    The platinum-to-copper connection that is made when the RTD is measured can cause a

    thermal offset voltage. The offset-compensated ohms technique can be used to eliminate this

    effect. (Thermal EMF)

    RTD CALIBRATION

    The aim of the measurement: To accomplish a temperature versus resistance calibration curve

    of an RTD.

    Steps of the measurement: The measuring junction has to be put into the electronic

    thermostat. At each setting point one has to wait until the temperature sets in (delay time). If

    the temperature is stable the voltage can be read from the display of the voltage divider.

    The temperature range of the measurement is from 0 to 100C and it is has to be done within

    5 or 10C divisions.

    The result of the measurement has to be notified in a table

    t [C] 0 5 10 15 20 25

    U[mV]

    Analysis of the results of the measurement and accomplishment of the calibration curve

    5. The calibration curve has to be defined6. The measuring errors have to be rated7. The function of the calibration curve has to be calculated with Ordinary Least

    Squares (OLS)

    8. The result has to be compared to the data of an RTD catalog

    The determination of the time constant by cooling and heating

    4. The junction has to be replaced from the ice bath to the 100C thermostat.5. The heating curve and the heating curve related time constant have to be

    defined.

    6. The process has to be done the way round to define the cooling curve and thecooling curve related time constant.
