Temperature Calibration Lab - 1 - ME310 – Instrumentation and Theory of Experiments Lab 4: Temperature Calibration and Measurement CONCEPTS: temperature measurements, RTDs, thermistors, digital data acquisition, LabVIEW GUIs DELIVERABLES: Full lab report (
with
full uncertainty analysis) document, due in 2 weeks, in lab. 1.
Introduction Two important aspects of temperature measurement are choosing the measurement device and obtaining an accurate calibration. Different devices, such as thermistors and resistance temperature detectors each offer advantages and disadvantages in measuring temperature, in the response time and the response function, as well as variations between the many different types of each device that are available. Choosing the appropriate instrument can be a significant factor in obtaining valid results. Equally important is the ability to accurately determine the temperature being measured. Each of the devices mentioned above measures changes in properties other than temperature that can in turn be related to a change in temperature. To measure temperature effectively, an accurate calibration is necessary between the change in properties actually measured and the associated change in temperature. In this lab you will use constant temperature baths to investigate variations in the capabilities and properties of two different temperature measurement devices. You will also calibrate each of the three devices using physical ice points. 2.
Theory Thermistors and resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) measure properties that can be used to determine the temperature of a substance. Whereas thermocouples (discussed in class) use as their thermometric property the voltage that is created between two different metals when two bimetal junctions are at different temperatures, RTDs and thermistors use the fact that as temperature changes, the electrical resistance of materials change (thermistor = thermal + resistor…). In the sections that follow each of these devices is explained briefly.
Temperature Calibration Lab - 2 - 2.1.
Thermistors & RTDs As mentioned above, thermistors and RTDs rely on the fact that the resistivity of a substance changes as its temperature does. The main difference between thermistors and RTD’s is the material from which they are made. Another difference (actually a function of the material and the implementation) is that the response of an RTD is more linear than a thermistor, while the thermistor is more sensitive. RTDs are generally made of a conductive metal. In a conductor the atoms can be thought of being in a regular lattice. The metal’s conduction properties are a result of the lattice: an irregular lattice is a poor conductor compared to a more regular one. As temperature increases the atoms in the lattice shake more, making it more irregular, thus scattering more of the conduction electrons, not allowing them to conduct current. The decrease in the ability to conduct current is seen as an increase in the metal’s resistivity. The response of the resistance R
to the sensed temperature T
can be approximated to be a function of the empirical fit coefficients a

)] Thermistors are generally made from a semi-conducting material, such as a ceramic material. Semiconductors are characterized by having two energy bands (in their electron cloud) separated by an energy gap. The band with a lower energy is called the valence band, while the band with higher energy is called the conduction band. The population of the conduction band of a semi-conductor determines its resistivity. Electrons from the valence band can jump to the conduction band, across the energy gap, if they acquire enough energy. Energy can be added to electrons in the valence band by increasing the temperature. As temperature increases, resistivity goes down, because the population of the conduction band increases. The response of the resistance R
to the sensed temperature T
can be approximated to be a function of the empirical fit coefficients b

) ] RTDs have a relatively slow response time. With this in mind, they are not usually used for applications in which the temperature varies quickly. Thermistors have a relatively quick response time, and are not as delicate as RTDs, so they can be used in applications that have harsh environmental conditions. Thermistors can be easily packaged in a manner that will allow them to be flat mounted to a device. The use of these devices relies on a calibration of the device, usually obtained by measuring the output of the system as the temperature is varied in a known controlled fashion. Note that the data sheets for the RTD and thermistor that you’ll use in lab isn’t
available because the goal of this lab is to determine the entire sensing system’s response through its calibration. Prelab question
: Research and summarize two commercial systems that incorporate each device (4 systems total).
Temperature Calibration Lab - 3 - 3.
Procedure NOTE: Each student should transfer the data files from the computer, either via transfer to the cloud or your own USB drive. Before beginning the lab, be certain you can identify thermistor and RTD devices. A pdf of both instruments can be found on the course website, since they look similar in appearance. Spot check thought questions: Read through & think about the questions in Section 5. 3.1.
Data Acquisition This lab uses a National Instruments BNC-2090 breakout box connected to the National Instruments PCI-6221 data acquisition board (the same board as lab 3 and the design project) using a 64-pin I/O cable. The input range that the board is set via the LabView VI. Double-check with the GST that it is set to ±10 V.
Constant Temperature Baths Portions of this section may already be in progress at the time you start your lab. Check with the GST to determine the state of each temperature bath. Set the temperature of the five temperature baths as follows: 1. Fill the 0ºC bath approximately 50% full from a cold water tap and add ice as necessary. 2. Fill the 15ºC bath to approximately 70% of capacity from a cold water tap and add ice as necessary until the temperature drops slightly below 15ºC. Allow the temperature to slowly rise to 15ºC. Once at 15ºC, continue to monitor the temperature and add ice as necessary to maintain that temperature. 3. Fill the 30ºC bath from a cold water tap. Allow 30-45 min. for the water to reach 30ºC with the aid of the immersion heaters. 4.
Fill the 45ºC and 60ºC from a hot water tap. Allow 30-45 min. for the water to reach the proper temperature with the aid of the immersion heaters. The immersion heaters draw a lot of current and may cause a ground loop in the form of the 60-Hz AC voltage in conjunction with the rest of the measurement devices. Since the water isn’t deionized, the sensors (thermistors and RTDs), which act as antennas, can pick up this signal and disrupt their voltage output that you’re seeking to measure. Observe the signals on an oscilloscope to identify the different types of noise in the signals. Identify the different noise sources in the system if possible. Employ instrument level filtering provided in the lab such as the Krohn-Hite Model 3940 filter to remove the noise. A DC-coupled lowpass filter with a cutoff frequency of 50 Hz should be sufficient. Use Input & Output Channel 2.

A. A customer asked you to explain your choice of a temperature sensor that you used for his PCB.
Initially, there were two sensor options. To compare between them, you decided to test their accuracy
and precision. Accuracy of a sensor is a measure of how near its reading is to the real value, the nearer
the measured value to the real value the better. While precision is a measure of how widely spread the
readings of a sensor are [relative to each other] when measuring the same variable, the narrower the
spread the better. So, you tested the two sensors by measuring the same temperature, which was 100
C of boiling water, and you recorder the following 10 measurements of each sensor. Which Sensor has
higher accuracy, and which one has higher precision.

QUESTION 2
Thermocouples are devices used to measure temperature of a given sample or the surrounding
medium. These devices feature a "bead", which has a spherical shape, and produces voltage upon change
in temperature. For an engineering application at a pharmaceutical company, thermocouple devices are
being tested for their responsiveness, i.e. how fast it can detect temperature changes in the environment
(surrounding air). The engineers at this company have specified design constraints for an ideal
thermocouple: it must detect temperature changes no later than 1.5 minute, and the reported
temperature value must be reasonably correct: at most %3 difference between measured and actual
temperature values is allowed.
Four thermocouples from different vendors are being tested. Relevant properties of these devices are
listed below:

A customer asked you to explain your choice of a temperature sensor that you used for his PCB. Initially, there were two sensor options. To compare between them, you decided to test their accuracy and precision. Accuracy of a sensor is a measure of how near its reading is to the real value, the nearer the measured value to the real value the better. While precision is a measure of how widely spread the readings of a sensor are [relative to each other] when measuring the same variable, the narrower the spread the better. So, you tested the two sensors by measuring the same temperature, which was 100 C of boiling water, and you recorder the following 10 measurements of each sensor. Which Sensor has higher accuracy, and which one has higher precision.

- QUESTION 2 Thermocouples are devices used to measure temperature of a given sample or the surrounding medium. These devices feature a "bead", which has a spherical shape, and produces voltage upon change in temperature. For an engineering application at a pharmaceutical company, thermocouple devices are being tested for their responsiveness, i.e. how fast it can detect temperature changes in the environment (surrounding air). The engineers at this company have specified design constraints for an ideal thermocouple: it must detect temperature changes no later than 1.5 minute, and the reported temperature value must be reasonably correct: at most %3 difference between measured and actual temperature values is allowed. Four thermocouples from different vendors are being tested. Relevant properties of these devices are listed below: Thermal conductivity Density 36 W/m*K 36 W/m*K 42 W/m*K 33 W/m*K Specific Heat 140 kJ/kg*K 120 kJ/kg*K 150 kJ/kg*K 160 kJ/kg*K Device Bead Diameter…arrow_forwardRecord the dimensions of the known (calibration) block using the caliper and dial gauge on the table below.
