HOW TO ORDER All cable sensors in this catalog are described in detail in their technical specifications and identified by a short designation. The "OPTIONS" sections provide information with which you can modify the cable sensors. Please note that apart from the versions described in the catalog there are a wide variety of application-specific solutions. Please contact us should you require one. ELECTRICAL TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT WITH THERMOCOUPLES TEMPERATURE From the point of view of physics, heat is an expression of the internal energy in a body arising from the molecular movement within...

TEMPERATURE SCALE The physical basis of temperature measurement is the thermodynamic temperature scale. It is based on the laws of Boyle-Mariotte (p ~ 1/V) as well as Gay-Lussac (p ~ V) and the resulting equation for ideal gases: International Temperature Scale ITS 90 p · V = R · T p = Pressure, V = Specific volume, R = Specific gas constant, T = Temperature The thermodynamic temperature can be represented excellently with a gas thermometer. Since this method is too laborious for practical temperature measurement, an international temperature scale has been created that was specified through defined...

Thermocouples have some advantages compared to resistance thermometers: Smaller construction forms are possible, they have a larger temperature measuring range and are notably less sensitive to mechanical stresses. However, the higher temperature tolerance classes and the increased installation work are opposing factors.The combination of the thermoelectric wires and the material composition are standardized in order to ensure trouble-free interchangeability. The thermoelectric voltage is very low and amounts to only a few pV/K. In order to carry out the measurement the electric circuit has to...

Thermocouples are divided into three tolerance classes in accordance with EN 60584. These reference thermoelectric wires with a 0 0.25 mm to 3 mm and apply to the state of delivery. Possible aging during operation cannot be taken into consideration, since it is application-specific. The specified temperature ranges do not contain any limits for the application. These are ranges within which the described tolerances are defined. Limit deviations for thermocouples according to EN 60584

Put generally, the thermoelectric voltage/K is higher, the greater the difference in the metals of both legs are. Of the thermocouples listed, the NiCr/CuNi element (Type E) has the highest EMF. By contrast, the thermocouple Type B has the lowest EMF, since the two thermo legs differ only in the height of the rhodium alloy content. The thermoelectric voltages as a factor of the temperature were calculated as the basic values and defined in the standards IEC 584 or EN 60584 respectively. These values all refer to a reference junction temperature of 0 °C. If a deviating reference junction temperature...
