What is temperature ?

The temperature of an object is a measure


of the energy of the molecules in that
object
Most processes require a knowledge of
temperature
We measure temperature with sensors
such as thermocouples and RTDs
sometimes incorporated into transmitters
What do we need to ensure these devices
are reading correctly ?

Why does heat move from hot to cold and not the other way round ?

Gavin McQuillan Patco TCAL Training, March 2015 2


Important law of thermodynamics
Zeroth law of thermodynamics
If two systems are each in thermal equilibrium with a
third system, then the first two systems are in thermal
equilibrium with each other

Gavin McQuillan Patco TCAL Training, March 2015 3


Temperature scales

Temperature Scale of 1927

Gavin McQuillan Patco TCAL Training, March 2015 4
How do we measure temperature ?
Indirectly - with a thermometer
A thermometer is a device which has a measurable
property which changes with temperature
For a liquid-in-glass thermometer, the property measured is the
length of the liquid column inside a glass tube

For a RTD, the property measured is the resistance of a platinum


wire (PRT, Pt100, Pt25 etc)

For a thermocouple, the property measured is the voltage


generated along the length of two dissimilar metals or alloys

For a thermistor, the measured property is the resistance of a semi


conductor device

Gavin McQuillan Patco TCAL Training, March 2015 5


What is calibration

A comparison between measurements one


of known accuracy made with one device and
another measurement made in as similar a
way as possible with a second device.

The device with the known accuracy is known


as the standard or reference. The second
device is the unit under test.

Gavin McQuillan Patco TCAL Training, March 2015 6


Why calibrate ?

Provides confidence that the instrument has


been, and is, operating to the manufacturers
specification

Ensures compliance with quality systems


and industry regulations

Provides traceability to your measurements

Gavin McQuillan Patco TCAL Training, March 2015 13


Key measurement principles

Characterization calibration
Mathematical curve fit give best interpolation, highest accuracy
Used for higher quality sensors only
Calibration Coefficients - CVD, ITS-90, Polynomial etc.

Tolerance testing
UUT is compared to defined values in the form of a table at a range of
temperatures. No fitting is performed, only Pass or Fail
DIN EN 43760 Class A and B (RTD), DIN 43710 (TC), etc

Gavin McQuillan Patco TCAL Training, March 2015 14


Key measurement principles
Characterisation
UUT measured in base units
(, mV etc)

Mathematical model used to


calculate temperature

ITS-90 mathematical model is


currently the best estimation
of the Thermodynamic scale

Excerpt from ITS-90

Gavin McQuillan Patco TCAL Training, March 2015 15


Key measurement principles

Tolerance testing
UUT compared against a known reference and
the result compared against a standard table

IEC-751(DIN 43760) class A


= [0.15 + 0.002|t|] oC
@ 100 oC = [0.15 + 0.002|100|] = 0.35 oC
IEC-751 (DIN 43760) class B
= [0.3 + 0.005|t|] oC
@ 100 oC = [0.3 + 0.005|100|] = 0.8 oC

Gavin McQuillan Patco TCAL Training, March 2015 16


Key measurement principles

System calibration
UUT remains connected to a
Sensor
display, reading is compared to
the known temperature and an
error is recorded

Probe and readout cannot not be


used separately Instrument

Euramet/cg-13 thermal loading

Thermal Loading

Additional heat loss due to increased numbers or size


of thermometers
Creates a shift in the temperature gradient in the
sleeve (block) of the drywell
The Temperature Controller cannot completely
compensate for this shift
The result can be a temperature error that is
particularly apparent in the Direct Mode (i.e. no
reference thermometer)

Application questions.

Standard questions to ask your customer

Type of sensor or systems being calibrated?


Dimensions of sensors being calibrated?
Temperature range for calibration?
Accuracy of sensors being calibrated?
Is automation of calibration required?
Where do you perform calibration (i.e. lab or
field environment)?

ITS-90

International temperature scale - 1990

Gavin McQuillan Patco TCAL Training, March 2015 104


Temperature scales

William Thomson introduced


absolute temperature scale in 1848

derived from Carnot ideal heat engine


defines absolute zero
standard unit is the Kelvin (K)
defines 1K as 1/273.16 of TPW
triple point of water is 273.16K (0.01oC)
standard symbol is T
ice point is 273.15K
steam point is 373.15K

Why we need the ITS

Temperature can not be measured directly

Only be measured in terms of extensive quantities: length,


volume, resistance etc

Functional relationships between these parameters and


temperature are not sufficiently well known to permit them to be
used over a wide temperature range.

These difficulties have been so great that it has proved necessary


to introduce a Practical Temperature Scale the International
Temperature Scale

Gavin McQuillan Patco TCAL Training, March 2015 106


ITS-90 components

Specifies certain fixed points (the freezing points of seven metals, the
melting point of gallium, the triple points of water, mercury and four
cryogenic gases, and the boiling points of hydrogen at two pressures)
as references for the calibration of thermometers. The temperature
of these fixed points is precisely defined and internationally agreed

Defines procedures by which certain practical thermometers of the


required quality and precision can be calibrated in such a way that
the values obtained from them can be precise and reproducible,
while at the same time representing the corresponding
thermodynamic temperatures as closely as possible

Defines interpolating equations that relate the measured property of


the instruments to the temperatures

Practical aspects of TPW

Does not need recalibration

Check reference probes for drift

Valuable history record all TPW


measurements

Most accurate temperature standard

Easy to realise

Check on return from calibration

Every lab should have one !
