Bimetallic Thermometers
A bimetallic thermometer is a device, which senses temperature with a helical or
spiral bimetallic strip and displays the temperature on a dial for visual observation.
The bimetallic temperature element expand when the temperature increases and
contract when the temperature decreases. The increase length per unit length per
degree of temperature increase is called the coefficient of thermal expansion for
that material.

A bimetallic element can be formed in spiral or helix to increase the amount of
motion available for a given temperature change.
The spiral form of bimetallic element is convenient for housing in a circular flat
case and is typically used is dial thermometers that measure ambient temperature.
The helical form is well suited for housing in a narrow tube (stem) for insertion
into a fluid directly or housing within a thermowell with a small bore.

Figure I-6.1A shows a typical bimetallic dial thermometer, one end of the helical
element is welded to the bottom of the stem and the other end is welded to theshaft. The pointer is attached to the end of the shaft. The sensing portion of the
thermometer is that portion of the stem that contains the element.
The standard calibration accuracy for bimetallic thermometers is +/- 1% of the
full-scale reading. Some thermometers allow single point calibration, which is
accomplished by rotating the scale behind the pointer, either by rotating the case
or by adjusting a gear from a screwdriver slot protruding through the case. Others
allow no adjustment.

Figure i-6.1B illustrates exploded and sectional views of bimetallic dial
thermometer, where the service is limited to replacement of the dial window glass
if is broken, adjust or replacement of the pointer. An external adjustment screw is
usually provided so that the thermometer can be calibrated at a single point, but
there is usually no adjustment for span.

Thermometers
Filled system thermometers have a bulb filled with an expanding substance,
(usually an inert gas) and a dial, which is controlled by a bourbon tube. The bulb
is connected by a capillary tube, which can be up to about 50 feet (15 meters)
long, to the dial mechanism. Their accuracy is about the same as a bimetallic
thermometer and they are much more expensive. Therefore, filled systemthermometers are not usually unless remote installation of the gauge is desired.

The indicating temperature of filled system thermometer are subject to significant
error from elevation changes in the capillary and are relatively difficult to
compensate and The reading may change somewhat with changes in ambient
temperature. The errors thus induced can be minimised by a compensating
mechanism, which senses the ambient temperature and automatically adjusts the
temperature reading. Figure I-6.2A illustrates types of compensation of gas field
system.

Electric Temperature Switches

with a change in temperature. Most switches can be used as either high

temperature or low temperature sensors, depending on how they are calibrated and
electrically connected.
Most mechanically operated temperature switches use a vapour-filled system or a
liquid-filled system to operate pressure switch. Gas-filled systems generally do not
develop enough power for switch use. Figure I-6.3A shows vapour filled systemmechanically operated temperature switch.
Filled system switches are available for both local and remote mounting. The local
mounting type has the bulb rigidly attached to the switch mechanism and housing.
The assembly has a threaded connection so that it can be screwed into and be
supported by a thermowell. The remote mounting type has the bulb connection to
the switch mechanism by a capillary tube from 6 feet (2 meters) to 25 feet (8
meters) or more. The switch cannot be separated from the bulb in the field.
One disadvantage of mechanically actuated temperature switches is significantdeadband. When temperature switch trips on raising or falling temperature, it does
not reset at exactly the same temperature as it tripped. The difference is called the
deadband or reset. Sometimes the required trip point is very near the normal
operating temperature. In these cases, a solid-state temperature switch should be
used.
Solid-state temperature switches use a resistance temperature detector (RTD), a
thermocouple, or a thermistor to detect the temperature and contain the required
amplifiers and other electronic circuitry to activate a relay or solid-state output
device at the set temperature. Figure I-6.3B shows a solid-state switch for controlroom mounting.
The output from the temperature switch is usually either a microswitch or a relay.
The contact configuration is most often either single-pole, double threw (SPDT) or
double-pole, double-threw (DPDT).

A double-pole type switch or snap-disk mechanism is needed if two circuits, such
as a shutdown and alarm that annunciates that shutdown are to be actuated by the

Pneumatic Temperature Switches
A pneumatic temperature switch is a device, which senses temperature and
actuates a valve to supply or vent a gas or air signal. Pneumatic switches are not as
abundant as electric switches, but they are still available from several sources.
Some manufacturers will substitute an air relay for the microswitch in a
mechanically actuated temperature switch.
The pneumatic temperature switches, which are essentially converted electrical
switches use the same principles of operation as do their electrical counterparts.
The ones designed for the pneumatic system are often called temperature valves.
They are manufactured with both two-way valves and three-way valves. The two-
way type, are designed so that a vent port opens when the temperature exceeds the
set point, the three-way valve type either connects the receiver device to the
pressure source or vents it, depending on the temperature. These units use the
bimetallic principle. A typical temperature valve is shown in figure I-6.3D.

Thermocouples
A thermocouple is a junction of dissimilar metals used to measure temperature.
When two different metals come in contact with each other, thermal energy is
converted into electrical energy. Any two metals can be used and the amount of
electrical energy created is a direct function of the absolute temperature except in
circumstances. Also the amount of energy converted depends on the metals

selected. Certain combinations of metals have been identified which create enough
energy in a sufficiently linear manner so that they can be used to measure
temperature with a high degree of accuracy.
Thermocouple wires of the selected metals, are joined together to make electrical
contact. They can be twisted, welded, soldered or even wrapped under the samescrew. The electrical limitations are that the junction, including any third metal,
must be at the temperature to be measured, the wires must be insulated from each
other from the junction to be receiver, and if the junction is grounded, there must
be no other ground. The only physical limitation is that the wires must be able to
stand the environment to which they are subjected.
Connection of thermocouples does present some difficulty because when the
selected metals are connected to any other metal, such as copper wire, another
thermocouple is created and the temperature of this connection will affect the
measurement as much as the temperature of the primary junction.
TASK No.: I-6.4 Continue
Figure I-6.4A shows a thermocouple constructed from copper (Cu) wire and a
copper-nickel alloy wire named constantan (c) connected to a voltmeter made of
copper. The constant an wire must be connected an wire must be connected to
copper somewhere in addition to the thermocouple to complete the circuit, but this
will form another thermocouple. This connection is made so that the temperature
can be held constant at a known temperature and is called the cold junction or
reference junction (J2). A temperature that is easy to create and duplicate is that of
a bath formed by pure water and the ice that water, 32F (0C) by holding the
reference junction at the ice point, the temperature of the primary junction (J1) can
be found by measuring the voltage it creates in reference to the voltage created by
the reference junction.

Tables of the voltage created at temperature versus the ice point are published by
the Untied National Bureau of Standards (NBS) and are used worldwide. By
measuring the thermocouple voltage, the temperature can be found from the table.
If the reference junction is located where the temperature is known or can be
measured accurately, then the junction voltage for this temperature can be addedto the measured voltage to find the temperature of the primary junction. All of the
connections and the measurement are made to a thermally conductive, but
electrical insulating material known as the isothermal block. This block is usually
in the instrument case, but in large installations is sometimes done elsewhere by
minimising the thermocouple wire. If the temperature is computed circuit it is
known as software compensation. If an electronic circuit is used to correct the
reading, it is known as hardware compensation or an electronic ice point.
The thermocouple is connected to the isothermal block by wire made from thesame metals as the thermocouple, called thermocouple extension wire. A
thermocouple extension wire is usually a shielded, twisted pair with the shield
grounded at the instrument to minimise interference pickup. Terminal strips
constructed of thermocouple material are available and should be used if
intermediate connections are required. Only a few mili-volts are produced by a
thermocouple, so careful attention to proper wiring and shielding is essential to
good measurement.

Some thermocouple assemblies are manufactured so that the thermocouple makes
electrical contact with the sheath (called ground junction), and some are
manufactured where the thermocouple is electrically insulated from the sheath
(called ungrounded junction). A third option, is where the thermocouple extends
slightly beyond the sheath (called exposed junction). Exposed junction offer the
fastest response, but are not used in oil and gas processing because they are
subject to physical damage.
TASK No.: I-6.4 Continue
They would need to be installed without a thermowell to take advantage of this
faster response. Grounded junction offer faster response than ungrounded
junctions because the contact area which provides the electrical connection also
provides good thermal conduction. Also, grounding at thermocouple provides the
most nearly symmetrical circuit, which reduced interference picked up by the
wires to a minimum. Grounded thermocouples should be selected unless other
components of the circuit require that, the ground be at some other point, or the
process fluid and piping are not at ground potential.grounding any measurement
loop at more than one point will usually cause measurement errors because ofpotential difference in the grounding system.
These errors are more acute with low voltage signals such as generated by
thermocouples. These statements do not preclude grounding the extension wire
shield at the receiver, which is recommended.
The most common and least expensive thermocouple is iron versus constant an
(ISA type J). Type can be used for measurement from -320F (-195C) to1400F

(760C), but is normally limited to 32 to 1000F (0-500C). Type J is usually
furnished when no specific type is specified.
Chromal versus alumal thermocouples (ISA type K) offer better corrosion
resistance. Type K can be used for-310F (-190C) to 2500F (1370C) but
usually limited to 32 to 2000F (0 to 1000C) Type K does not produce as muchout put as type
Copper versus constantan thermocouples (ISA type T), are usually used when
temperatures below zero are to be measured. While the usable range for type T,
310 to 750 F (- 190 to 400 C), is the same for the lower limit and less for the
higher limit than for types J and K, the recommended range is -290 to 700F (-180
to 370C). The materials used in type T behave more predictably at low
temperatures than those used for types J and K.
Chromel versus constant an thermocouples (ISA type E) provide the largest
voltage change per temperature change for standard thermocouples. An output of
40 millivolts at 1000F can be compared to 30 mv for type J and 22 mv for type
K. type E can be used for 320 to 1830F (-195 to 1000() and is recommended
for32 to 1600F (0 to 870F).
TASK No.: I-6.4 Continue
Some sources extend this range downward to -100F (-73 C), but type T is
generally considered a better choice for below freezing temperature. Type E has
more tendency to change characteristics with time than types J, K and T.
These four types of thermocouples comprise the base metal thermocouples.

Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs)
The resistance of a conductor usually increase as the temperature increase. If the
properties of that conductor are known, the temperature can be calculated from the
measured resistance. A resistance temperature detector (RTD) is a conductor of
known characteristics constructed for insertion into the medium for temperature
measurement. Any conductor can be used to construct an RTD, but a few have

been identified as having more described characteristics than others. The
characteristics, which are desired, include.
1. Stability in the temperature range to be measured. The material must not melt,corrode, embrittle or change electrical characteristics when subjected to the
environment in which it will operate.2. Linearity. The resistance change with temperature should be as liner as
possible over the range of interest to simplify readout.
3. High resistively. Less material is needed to manufacture an RTD with aspecified resistance when the material has a high characteristic resistively.
4. Workability. The material must be suitable for configuring for insertion intothe media.
The materials which, have been identified as having acceptable characteristics are
copper, nickel, tungsten and platinum.
Copper has good linearity, workability, and is able up to 250F (120C), but has
low resistively, thus either a long conductor or one with a very small cross-
sectional area is required for a reasonable resistance. Nickel and nickel alloys have
high resistively, good stability and good workability, but have poor linearity.
Tungsten is brittle and difficult to work with. Platinum has been accepted as the
material which best fits all the criteria and has been generally accepted for
industrial measurement between -300 and 1200 F (-150 and 650C).
The effect of resistance inherent in the lead wires of the RTD circuit on the
temperature measurement can be minimised by increasing the resistance of the
sensor; however, the size of the sensor will also be increased. RTDS are
commercially available, with resistance from 50 to 1000 ohms at 32F (0C) and
increase resistance 0.385 ohms for every C of temperature raise.
TASK No.: I-6.4 Continue
Chemically pure platinum has a resistance of.392 ohms per C for a 100 ohm RTD
in accordance with the American (A) standard.
When the resistance of the RTD is found by measurement, the temperature can be
calculated:
C = (Ohms reading -100)/0.385
The accuracy of this calculation is determined primarily by the accuracy of the

reading. Modem instruments can measure resistance very accurately and the
temperature can be determined precisely if the resistance of the connecting circuit
is insignificant or is known. Unfortunately, this resistance usually not negligible or
known for most practical circuits. The wire that usually used (16 AWG stranded
copper) has a resistance of approximately 4 ohms per 100 feet (305 m). If it is
assumed that the RTD is connected to the instrument by a 625- foot cable as
shown in Figure, the total resistance will be 5 ohms larger than the RTDresistance, which will cause a 23.4 F (13C) error. Furthermore, copper wire has
a temperature coefficient of about 0.0039 ohms /C/ so the reading will vary about
a degree for every 20 change in ambient temperature. These errors can be
compensated by measuring the resistance of every loop and keeping track of the
ambient temperature. A compromise connection method for RTDS that uses three
wires and a balanced bridge circuit is shown above. For this circuit, Rl and R2 are
selected to be the same resistance so that the voltage at the negative terminal of
the voltmeter is one half o the supply voltage. R3 is selected to be the same
resistance as the RTD at the base temperature, 100 ohms if 0C is used as the base.
For this circuit, it is important that wire A and wire B have the same resistance.The usual practice is to run the three wires as a shielded raid, thus they will all be
the same length and the same resistance within manufacturing tolerance.

At the base condition, the positive terminal will also see one-half of the supply
voltage and the reading will be zero. If 5.2 volts is used to power the bridge, the
voltage will be 2.6 at each terminal of the voltmeter at the base temperature. When
the temperature of the RTD is raised one degree C, the voltage reading will
increase to one millivolt. The symmetry will be upset as the reading moves away
from the base temperature and the one millivolt per degree will not continue to beexact, but various schemes of completion are available to give an acceptable
reading.
The proceeding paragraphs are intended to explain the basis of two, three and four
wire RTD connections. The selection of resistors and compensation schemes are
left to the manufacturer of the instrument, but the facilities engineer selects which
of the connection methods to use. The three wire method is the proper selection
for virtually all production facility applications.
Resistance temperature detectors (RTDS) are the most frequently used electronictemperature sensors for production facilities.
The industry has standardised on RTDS that are calibrated to Din standard 43760
which is also known as the European standard RTDS which meet this standard
measure 100 ohms at 0C, are made of platinum and exhibit a resistance increase
of 0.385 ohms per C temperature increase. Another standard, called the American
Standard, is available but is not in wide use.
TASK No.: I-6.4 Continue
RTDS are usually purchased as a probe assembly consisting of the RTD sensor
installed in a type 304 stainless steel sheath. The sheath is held in the thermowell
by a fitting which is threaded on both ends for attachment to the thermowell and
the head so that the tip of the sheath touches or is very near the end of the well.
The preferred method of attachment of the sheath to the fitting is with a spring
assembly which allows the fitting to be screwed into the thermowell as the spring
is compressed. The spring holds the sheath firmly against the bottom of the well
for good heat transfer. Another method is to sliver solder the sheath into the fitting
which makes a good firm assembly, but requires a small clearance from the
bottom of the well. The third popular method is with a comparison fitting so that
the sheath can be pushed against the bottom of the well after the fitting is screwed
into the well. The compression nut is then tightened to hold the sheath. The
compression fitting
allows use of a universal probe in different lengths of thermowells.

Temperature Transmitters
Temperature transmitters are used when it is necessary to convert the signal from
a temperature sensor to one of the standard signals for transmission over a long
distance or interface with other instruments. The signal is usually 4 to 20 mA. for
electronic transmission and 3 to 15 psig for pneumatic if a transmitter is used.
Other signals can be used if required by the receiver, but these are the most
common and should be used if possible.
It is also possible to bring a temperature measurement into a control room without
using a transmitter, a thermocouple / RTD can be wired directly to an instrument
in the control room and this is acceptable practice. Figure I-6.5A illustratesFoxboro 12A series pneumatic temperature transmitter, which is a force-balance
instrument, that continuously measures temperature and transmits it as a
proportional 3 to 15 psi air pressure output signal.

As illustrated in figure I-6.5B, any change in the sensor temperature of the gas-
filled thermal element causes a change in the gas pressure and, therefore, a change
in the force being applied to the bottom of the force bar. The force bar pivots
about a cross-flexure, and any motion of the force bar causes a change in the
clearance between the nozzle and the top of the force bar. This produces a changein the output pressure from the relay to the feedback bellows, until the force
exerted by the bellows balances the force exerted by the thermal system. The
output pressure, which establishes the force balance, is the transmitted pneumatic
signal and, therefore, is proportional to the measured temperature. The signal is
transmitted to a pneumatic receiver to record, indicate, and/or control.

RTD input Electronic Temperature Transmitter
Temperature transmitters for new installations are predominantly electronic with 4
to 20 mA. Outputs and inputs from thermocouples or RTDS. These transmitters
can be mounted in the field and on the thermowell or in the field on a support and
connected to the sensor by a cable.
Temperature transmitter mounted in the field must be protected from the elements
by an appropriate housing. A weatherproof (INEMA 4) housing is adequate for m
most applications, even in Division 2 hazardous area because there are no arching
contacts in a typical temperature transmitter. An explosion proof (NEMA 7)
housing is required for Division I area unless the installation is certifiedintrinsically safe. The energy level required in temperature transmitters is such
that they can be used in intrinsically safe installations if isolated from the power
supply and receiver by approved barriers.

I-6.8A illustrates a full featured, pneumatic temperature controller, in which use
an external temperature sensor.
Principle of Operation
As shown in figure I-6.8B A PID pneumatic temperature controller. This
temperature controller operate on the motion balance principle; motion from a
pneumatic feedback unit balances the motion from a process measuring element.
When the temperature at the sensing element increases, the bourdon spring uncoils
and moves the process pointer to the right and the baffle-actuating pin to the left.
The movement of the pin lowers the baffle to decrease the nozzle-baffle gap and
increase the nozzle-back pressure. This pressure is fed to chamber A of the output
relay.
As the pressure in chamber A increases, the diaphragm assembly moves the relay
stem downward closing the vent port and opening the air supply port to increasethe output. The output increases until it balances the downward force on the
diaphragm assembly.
By proportional response, the output pressure is fed to the follow-up bellows and
raises the baffle-actuating pin and baffle and the output change is proportional to a
change in process measurement.
Reset response, automatically returns the process variable to the set-point after a
sustained load change. This is accomplished by opposing the action of the follow-
up bellows with a reset bellows.
Pre-act response, reduces the offset caused by a process disturbance as well as
reduce the recovery time following the disturbance. This is accomplished by
feeding the output pressure to the follow-up bellows through a needle valve.
The controller can be set for either direct or reverse action by positioning the gain
dial.
