Temperature measurement

The following characteristics can be used to
measure the temperature

A change in dimentions - expansion or
contraction of material w.r.t. Temp change

A change in electrical resistance of metals and
semi-conductors w.r.t. Temp change

A thermo-electric emf produced due to temp
difference at two junctions of two metal alloy
joined together

A change in intensity and colour of radiation
emitted by the hot body w.r.t to change in
temp
 Temperature is a measure of the
thermal energy in the body.
Normally measured in degrees [°]using
one of the following scales.
1. Fahrenheit.[°F]
2. Celsius or centigrade. [°C]
3. Kelvin .[°K]
Scale
Expansion thermometers

(1)Bimetalic thermometer -solid expansion

(2)Liquid in glass thermometers
(1)Bimetallic Thermometer
Two basic principles of operation
is to be followed in the case of
a bimetallic sensor.
1) A metal tends to undergo a
volumetric dimensional
change
(expansion/contraction),
according to the change in
temperature.
2) Different metals have
different co-efficient of
temperatures. The rate of
volumetric change depends
on this co-efficient of
temperature.
Device consists of a bimetallic strip of two different metals .
•
They are bonded together to form a spiral or a twisted helix.
•
Both these metals are joined together at one end by either
welding or riveting.
•
It is bonded so strong that there will not be any relative
motion between the two.
. The image of a bimetallic strip is shown below.
Working
A change in temperature causes the free end of the strip to
expand or contract due to the different coefficients of
expansion of the two metals.
This movement is linear to the change in temperature and
the deflection of the free end can be read out by attaching a
pointer to it.
This reading will indicate the value of temperature.
Bimetallic strips are available in different forms like helix
type, cantilever, spiral, and also flat type.
Advantages
1) Power source not required
2) Robust, easy to use and cheap.
3) Can be used to 500 °C.
Disadvantages
1) Not very accurate.
2) Limited to applications where manual reading is
acceptable.
3) Not suitable for very low temperatures because the
expansion of metals tend to be too similar, so the device
becomes a rather insensitive thermometer
(2)Liquid – in – Glass
Thermometer
Construction
1.Bulb: The reservoir for containing most of the
thermometric liquid (mercury).
2.Stem: The glass tube having a capillary bore
along which the liquid moves with changes
in temperature.
3. Scale: A narrow-temperature-range scale for
reading a reference temperature .
•
The volume of mercury changes slightly with temperature; the small change
in volume drives the narrow mercury column a relatively long way up the
tube.
•
The space above the mercury may be filled with nitrogen or it may be at
less than atmospheric pressure, a partial vacuum.
Advantages
1) Simplicity in use & low cost.
2) Portable device.
3) Checking physical damage is easy.
4) Power source not require
Disadvantages
1) Can not used for automatic recording.
2) Time lag in measurement.
3) Range is limited to about 300 °C .
Pressure spring thermometers

Liquid filled thermometers 
Vapour pressure
thermometers
Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD)

the resistance of RTD
changes proportionally
When the temp of an
object changes

Platinum, nickel and
copper are the commonly
used sensing elements

Advantages

Very high accuracy, excellent stability and interchangeability

Ability to measure narrow spans, suitable for remote measurement

Disadvantages

Susceptibility to
mechanical damage,
self-heating error,
signal noise

Unsuitability for bare
use in electrically
conducting substance

expensive
Pyrometer

It measures the amount of heat that is radiated from an object.

The device compares the brightness produced by the radiation of the object
whose temp is to be measured

An eye piece at the left side and
an optical lens on the right

A reference lamp

A rheostat to change the
current and brightness

An absorption screen is fitted
between the optical lens and
the reference bulb, so as to
increase the temp range
Working
1.The radiation from the source is emitted and the
optical objective lens captures it.
2.The lens helps in focusing the thermal radiation on to the
reference bulb.
3.The observer watches the process through the eye piece
and corrects it in such a manner that the reference lamp
filament has a sharp focus and the filament is super-imposed
on the temperature source image.
4.The observer starts changing the rheostat values and the
current in the reference lamp changes.
5.This in turn, changes its intensity.
This change in current can be observed in three different ways.
The filament is dark. That is, cooler than the
temperature source.
Filament is bright. That is, hotter than the
temperature source.
Filament disappears. Thus, there is equal
brightness between the filament and
temperature source
•
Advantages
1. Provides a very high accuracy with +/-5º Celsius.
2. The biggest advantage of this device is that, there is no direct
contact between the pyrometer and the object whose
temperature is to be found out.
•
Disadvantages
1. As the measurement is based on the light intensity, the device
can be used only in applications with a minimum temperature of
700º Celsius.
2. The device is not useful for obtaining continuous values of
temperatures at small intervals.
