Temperature Measurement


Temperature is the most frequently measured parameter in the process industry.
In electrical, contact thermometers two measurement principles have asserted themselves as a standard:

RTD: resistance sensors
In RTD resistance sensors the electrical resistance changes with a change in temperature. They are suitable for the measurement of temperatures between -200°C and +800°C and stand out due to high measurement accuracy and long-term stability. The resistance sensor element most frequently used is a Pt100 that has a nominal value of 100O at 0°C. Pt100 sensors are manufactured in different formats:


- Wire wound ceramic sensors: a spiral of platinum wire is wound and embedded in ceramic powder within a capillary and is fed to the outside by platinum wires.
- Thin film sensors: a platinum layer is vaporized on a ceramic plate (sputtered). A glass layer is melted on in order to protect the connection wires and the platinum layer.

As a standard, Endress+Hauser RTD resistance sensors fulfill the IEC 0751 accuracy class F 0.15.

TC: thermocouples
A thermocouple is a component made of two different metals connected with each other at one end. An electrical potential (thermoelectric force) is caused due to the Seebeck effect at the open end if the connection and the free ends are exposed to different temperatures. With the help of the thermocouple reference tables (see IEC 584), the temperature at the connection (measuring junction) can be calculated.
Thermocouples are suitable for temperature measurement from 0°C to +1800°C.
