Thermocouple _ instrument

Thermocouple temperature measurement is widely used in the temperature of the device, it is the main characteristic of wide temperature range, stable performance, at the same time, simple structure, good dynamic response, more can far eastone - 4 20 ma electrical signals to facilitate automatic control and centralized control. Thermocouple temperature measurement principle is based on thermoelectric effect. Connect the two different conductor or semiconductor into closed loops, when the two contacts in temperature is not at the same time, the circuit will produce thermoelectric potential, this kind of phenomenon called the thermoelectric effect, also known as the seebeck effect. There are two kinds of closed loop of thermoelectric potential of electric potential; The thermoelectric potential and contact potential. Thermoelectric potential means the same at both ends of the conductor potential because of the different temperature, different conductors with different electron density, so they produced by electric potential is not the same, the contact potential as its name implies is refers to the two different conductor in contact, because of their different electron density so produce certain electronic diffusion, when they reach a certain potential, which is formed by the balance after the contact potential depends on the size of the two different conductor material properties and their temperature contact point. Specifications, application of thermocouple with a standard thermocouple is divided into eight different degree, respectively B, R, S, K, N, E, J and T, its measuring temperature low measurable minus 270 degrees Celsius, higher up to 1800 degrees Celsius, including B, R, S belong to platinum series thermocouple, because platinum are precious metals, so the thermocouple is also known as precious metals and the remaining few called cheap metal thermocouple. There are two kinds of structure of the thermocouple, regular and type. Normal sexual thermocouples generally by the hot electrode, insulation tube, to protect casing and junction box parts, such as the type of thermocouple is the thermocouple wire, insulation material and metal protective casing combination after assembly, after stretching processing from a combination of a solid. But it takes a special electrical signal of thermocouple wires to pass, this kind of wire we called compensation conductor. Different thermocouples require different compensation conductor, its main function is connected to the thermocouple, away from the power of the reference junction of the thermocouple, so that the reference temperature stability. Compensation wire is divided into compensation type and extended type two kinds, extend the chemical composition of the wire and the compensation of thermocouple is the same, but in practice, to extend the type of wire is not used is the same as the thermocouple material of metal, usually use and thermocouple wires to replace with the same electron density. Compensation and thermocouple wires of the wire are generally not very clear, the positive connection of the thermocouple compensating lead red line, while the cathode connecting the rest of the color. Most of the material compensating lead wires are commonly used copper nickel alloy. Thermocouple as a result of the thermocouple materials are generally more expensive ( Especially when using precious metals) And temperature measuring points are far away the distance to the instrument, in order to save thermocouple materials, reduce cost, usually adopt the compensating conductor (of the cold junction of the thermocouple The free end) Reaches to the relatively stable control indoor temperature and connected to the meter terminals. It must be pointed out that the role of the thermocouple compensation wire only extend thermal electrode, make moves to the control room of the cold junction of the thermocouple meter terminal, it itself does not eliminate the cold end temperature change on the influence of temperature, no compensation. So, still need other correction method is used to compensate the cold end temperature t0 indicates influence on measuring temperature 0 ℃. Must pay attention to when using thermocouple compensating conductor model match, cannot be wrong polarity, compensation conductor should be connected to the thermocouple temperature should not exceed 100 ℃.
