Study Notes
Temperature Measurements
- International Temperature Scale (ITS-90): defines fixed points using reproducible temperatures for calibration.
- ASTM E2877-13: standard guide for electronic thermometry in contact with liquid water or ice.
- ISO 80601-2-56: standard for medical electrical equipment, defines requirements for non-invasive temperature sensors.
Temperature Measuring Devices
- Liquid-in-Glass Thermometers: measure temperature based on the expansion of liquid (usually mercury or alcohol) in a glass tube.
- Filled System Thermometers: use a liquid-filled system (e.g., gas-filled or liquid-filled bulb) to measure temperature.
- Digital Thermometers: measure temperature using electronic sensors (e.g., thermistors or RTDs) and display the result digitally.
- Bimetallic Strip Thermometers: two metals with different coefficients of thermal expansion bonded together, measure temperature changes by bending.
- Pressure Thermometers: use the relationship between pressure and temperature of a gas or vapor to determine temperature.
- Thermocouples: two dissimilar metals joined at one end, producing a voltage proportional to the temperature difference between the hot and cold junctions.
- Electrical Resistance Thermometers (RTDs): measure temperature based on the change in electrical resistance of a material (usually platinum or nickel) with temperature.
- Thermistors: semiconductor devices whose resistance changes significantly with temperature, with two types: NTC and PTC.
- Radiation Thermometers (Pyrometers): measure temperature by detecting the infrared radiation emitted by an object.
Liquid Level Measurements
- Single Float Method: measures liquid level by detecting the position of a float, simple and cost-effective.
- Displacement or Force Transducers: measures liquid level by detecting the displacement or force exerted by a submerged object.
- Pressure Sensitivity: measures liquid level by detecting the pressure at a specific point, which is proportional to the height of the liquid column.
- Bubbler or Page System: measures liquid level by detecting the pressure required to force gas bubbles through a submerged tube.
- Capacitance Variation Type: measures liquid level by detecting changes in capacitance between two electrodes, suitable for both conducting and non-conducting liquids.
- Resistance Variation Type: measures liquid level by detecting changes in resistance between electrodes, suitable for conductive liquids.
