  • resistancethermometers-rtdDue to the need of industry for greater accuracy and stability, the resistance thermometer (RTD) is becoming more widely used. The platinum RTD having a nominal resistance of 100 ohms at 0C and a temperature coefficient of 0.00385 is emerging as a world standard.

    Common Resistance Materials for RTDs: Platinum (most popular and accurate), Nickel & Copper

    Detector Tolerance and AccuracyThe RTD bulbs used in Techno assemblies conform to IEC 751-1983 and in standard form are supplied to class 'B' tolerance. Other tolerances of class 'A', 1/3 & 1/10 DIN are available on request. Also available are Nickel 100, 120 ohm and Platinum 46, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000 ohms Cu 53, 2000 ohms.

    RTD Terms RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector)

    An acronym for resistance temperature detector or device. A resistance temperature detector operates on the principle of change in electrical resistance with respect to change in temperature.

    RTD Element Sensing portion of the RTD which can be made most commonly of platinum, nickel, or copper. TECHNO features two styles of elements: wire wound and thin film.

    RTD Probe An assembly composed of an element, a sheath, a lead wire, and a termination or connection. The standard TECHNO RTD probe is made with a 100 ohm platinum European curve element (alpha = 0.00385).

    Platinum RTD Also known as PRTD, Platinum RTD's are typically the most linear, stable, repeatable, and accurate of all RTD's.

    Thin Film RTD Thinfilm RTD's are made up of a thin layer of a base metal embedded into a ceramic substrate and trimmed to produce the desired resistance v a l u e . T E C H N O RTD's are made by depositing platinum as a film on a

    substrate and then encapsulating both. This method allows for the production of small, fast response, accurate sensors. Thin film elements conform to the European curve/DIN 43760 standards.

    Class A RTD For Class A sensor the following relationship applies where T is the absolute temperature:rT=(0.15+0.002 * t) For t =75 0C, the tolerance is therefore: rT=(0.15+0.002 * 75)=0.30C

    Class B RTD For a Class B sensor the following relationship applies:rT= (0.3+0.005 * t). In the above example the deviation is therefore: rT= (0.3 + 0.005 * 75) = 0.675 0C

    Wire Wound This elements are made of alpha grade platinum wire. Wire is wound on a mandrel to make coil and inseted In a ceramic tube and hermetically sealed within glass capsule.

    Choice of Sensor

    There are many options to consider when choosing the correct RTD element for your requirements:

    1. Temperature range

    2. Tolerance, Accuracy

    3. Time response

    4. Vibrations

    When to use Resistance Temperature Detectors

    When accuracy and stability are a requirement of the customers Specification.

    When accuracy must extend over a wide temperature range.

    When area, rather than point sensing improves control.

    Temperature rangeThe internal assembly construction falls into two temperature ranges:

    Low 200C to +250C

    High 200C to +600C.

    Low temp- 3mm, 4.8mm, 6mm, 8mm, 9.5mm dia 316 SS tube alumina powder filled.High temp- 3mm, 6mm dia 316 SS metal sheathed mineral insulated/Ceramic beads insulated

    Tolerance of PT 100 ( Alpha 0.003850 ) @ 0C

    Class A : 0.15 C

    Class B : 0.3 C

    1/3 DIN : 0.10C

    1/10 DIN : 0.03C

    Features and Benefits of TECHNO make RTDs Accuracy: A special process combines strain-free construction with

    partial winding support for accurate readings and long term stability in standard RTD elements.

    Interchangeability: Strain-free construction and precision trimming allow elements from different lots to be substituted without recalibration.

    Sensitivity: Self-heating is minimised, allowing precise measurement. The temperature coefficient (alpha) is carefully controlled at the industry standard while insulation resistance values exceed IEC-751 standards.

    Standardisation: Elements are available to meet or exceed the requirements of various standardisation agencies. IEC- 751 standard tolerance classes A and B respectively are very well suited for industrial applications. Tolerance classes up to 1/10th DIN can also be supplied where higher accuracy is demanded

    Physical and Chemical Stability: Over a wide temperature range is ensured by Techno's highly controlled manufacturing process. Standard elements are built to resist mechanical vibration and shock, however where there is high exposure to mechanical vibration, specially manufactured film RTD elements can be supplied to suit the application.

    Repeatability: All elements exceed IEC-751 repeatability values even after long exposure to temperatures within the operating range.

    Wire Wound Elements Wire wound elements are a hand made product which involves lot of skilled Labor. It is manufactured by placing a coil of thin wire (7 microns to

    35 microns) into a ceramic insulator. The resistance of the coil is suitably adjusted to the ohms corresponding to that particular temperature. Ideally,

    this coil should be freely suspended for natural expansion and contraction. However, such construction is not immune to vibration and hence it is

    not adopted for industrial application. For industrial application, normally partially supported or fully supported construction is used which are

    quite immune to vibration. The extended leads Are quite rugged as compared to the alpha wire and normally made from Pt base metal (for

    Platinum resistors). The choice of ceramic insulator is also very important as any impurities in the insulator may detoriate the characteristic of the

    alpha wire.

    Thin Film PRTD

    Good vibration resistance

    Poor to thermal shock / cycling

    Limited temperature range, we recommend ambient to 250 0 C

    Poor repeatability

    Small in dimension as small as (1.5mm X 1.5mm X1.2mm) ; (L X B X T)

    Measuring current limitation to 1 mA. High self-heating.

    Wire Wound PRTD

    Moderate to poor vibration as per basic coil support

    Moderate to good performance against thermal shocks

    Vast temperature range -200 to 650 0 C

    Quite long in size as compared to film type(15 mm minimum)

    Measuring current as high as 10 mA can be used.

    Good repeatability

    The disadvantage of film type elements are1. The film is covered rigidly by glass layer and so the Platinum is not free to expand. The result is they can not maintain characteristics specially at

    higher Temperature

    2. The film contains very little metal and hence there are more chance of contamination from the impurities of the glass covering.

    3. The unit have very little size and mass is also small. Hence they are subject to self heating error when sensing current is pass through it.

    4. Control of homogenous of metal is difficult as compared to wire used in wire wound elements

    Lead Configuration & Color CodeThe resistance in the leads to the RTD (resistance temperature device) may significantly affect accuracy. To deal with this problem, connection arrangements are available which allow the lead resistance to be measured and compensated for, these are shown below:

    Various constructions of RTD elements Film TechnologyThick film is produced by spreading Platinum paste through a silk screen onto a ceramic substrate. Thin film is produced by evaporation of metal onto a substrate and then by suitably itching with LASER technology. The basic advantages of both types are they are mass produced elements, they are cheaper as well as they can work in environment. Where extreme vibration is presence

    Used where lead length is short. There is no compensation for resistance of lead wires.

    Most common type of RTD assembly. Typically connected to standard bridge circuit, which allows lead wire resistance to be compensated.

    Where higher accuracy is demanded. Lead wire resistance errors are eliminated in this configuration by measuring the voltage across the RTD element supplied with a constant current.

    Thermocouple or Resistance Temperature Detector

    ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES OF RTD & THERMOCOUPLES

    Advantages of Thermocouples Inexpensive No resistance Lead wire Problems Fastest Response Simple and Rugged High Temperature Operation Tip (end) Temperature Sensing

    Disadvantages of Thermocouples Least Sensitive Non-linear Low Voltage Least Stable, Repeatable

    Advantages of Resistance Temperature Detectors Linear over wide operating range Wide temperature operating range Interchangeability over wide range Good long term/short term stability.

    Disadvantages of Resistance Temperature Detectors Low sensitivity Higher cost than thermocouples No point sensing Affected by shock and vibration Requires three or four-wire operation

    Summary Resistance Temperature Detector or Thermocouple: Both thermocouples and RTD's are useful sensors for determining process temperature. RTD's provide higher accuracy than thermocouples in their temperature range because platinum is a more stable material than are most thermocouple materials. RTD's also use standard instrumentation wire to connect to the measurement or control equipment.

    Thermocouples are generally less expensive than RTD's, they are more durable in high vibration or mechanical shock applications and are usable to higher temperatures. Thermocouples can be made smaller in size than most RTD's so they can be formed to fit a particular application.

  • A thermocouple is a sensor for measuring temperature. It consists of two dissimilar metals, joined together at one end. When the junction of the two metals is heated or cooled a voltage is produced that can be correlated back to the temperature. The thermocouple alloys are commonly available as wire.

    A thermocouple is available in different combinations of metals. The four most common calibrations are J, K, T and E. There are high temperature calibrations R, S, and B. Each calibration has a different temperature range and environment, although the maximum temperature varies with the diameter of the wire used in the thermocouple. Although the thermocouple calibration dictates the temperature range, the maximum range is also limited by the diameter of the thermocouple wire. That is, a very thin thermocouple may not reach the full Temperature Range.

    Because a thermocouple measures in wide temperature ranges and can be relatively rugged, thermocouples are very often used in industry. The following criteria are used in selecting a thermocouple:

    What are the different thermocoupletypes?

    requirements (may need to be compatible with existing equipment; existing holes may determine probe diameter)

    Sheathed thermocouple probes are available with one of three junction types: grounded, ungrounded or exposed (see graphic below: ("Thermocouple Tip Styles"). At the tip of a grounded junction probe, the thermocouple wires are physically attached to the inside of the probe wall. This results in good heat transfer from the outside, through the probe wall to the thermocouple junction. In an ungrounded probe, the thermocouple junction is detached from the probe wall. Response time is slower than the grounded style, but the ungrounded offers electrical isolation the thermocouple in the exposed junction style protrudes out of the tip of the sheath and is exposed to the surrounding environment. This type offers the best response time, but is limited in use to dry, noncorrosive and nonpressurized applications.

    What is response time A time constant has been defined as the time required by a sensor to reach 63.2% of a step change in temperature under a specified set of conditions. Five time constants are required for the sensor to approach 100% of the step change value. An exposed junction thermocouple is the fastest responding. Also, the smaller the probe sheath diameter, the faster the response, but the maximum temperature may be lower. Be aware, however, that sometimes the probe sheath cannot withstand the full temperature range of the thermocouple type.

    An exposed junction is recommended for the measurement of static or flowing non-corrosive gas temperatures where fast response time is required. The junction extends beyond the protective metallic sheath to give accurate fast response. The sheath insulation is sealed where the junction extends to prevent penetration of moisture or gas which could cause errors.

    Type I (Grounded

    Type II (Ungrounded)

    Type III (Exposed)

    A grounded junction is recommended for the measurement of static or flowing corrosive gas and liquid temperatures and for high-pressure applications. The junction of a grounded thermocouple is welded to the protective sheath, giving faster response than the ungrounded junction type.

    An ungrounded junction is recommended for measurements in corrosive environments where it is desirable to have the thermocouple electronically isolated from and shielded by the sheath. The welded wire thermocouple is physically insulated from the thermocouple sheath by MgO powder (soft).

    Factors to ConsiderChoosing the correct thermocouple requires that you look at a number of factors. For example, a thermocouple, which is used only periodically, may be less expensive, but it may have a shorter life span and require servicing more often. If the thermocouple is intended to be used for long periods without service, it may be necessary to use a thicker gauge of wire and it may be necessary to use a design engineered for a greater degree of protection.

    Below are some general guidelines to consider when choosing a thermocouple. If you need more help making a decision our knowledgeable sales staff is available to recommend a design which will best suit your application.

    1.What are the maximum and minimum temperatures the thermocouple will see?

    2.What error tolerances are necessary for you application?

    3.What is the Measuring atmosphere? ( Corrosive / abrasive / vibrating etc)

    4.What is the time response required?

    5.Will the thermocouple be used continuously or periodically?

    6.Will the thermocouple see bending or flexing during it's life?

    7.What is the immersion depth?

    General Guidelines

    1.Do not allow excessive bending of the thermocouples. Cold working can lower the insulation resistance at certain points causing short circuits or decreased accuracy.

    2.Use protection tubes for corrosive atmospheres .

    3.Always inspect protection tubes when changing thermocouples. Things to look for include cracks, pinholes, contamination, or discoloration.

    4.Do not locate the thermocouple too close to a heating element.

    5.Record the life span and cause of failure for each thermocouple to help track down potential problems.

    6.Never apply stress to platinum elements, they are fragile and will break easily at high temperatures.

  • Thermocouples are widely used for temperature measurements of various gases and liquids. If bare thermo-element wires are exposed directly to detrimental atmospheres and fluid, they are often physically and chemically affected resulting in reducing service life with severe deterioration and corrosion. Thermocouples are, therefore, usually protected with insulators and protection tubes. In selection of suitable insulators and protection tubes, consideration should be given to the materials especially of heat resistance, mechanical strength, chemical stability, etc. depending on the respective operating conditions. This is the most important point in thermometric practice

    Caution:

    1. Operating and maximum temperatures vary depending on the heat pattern and atmosphere. For low thermal conductivity ceramictubes, preheating and slow insertion into the furnace are recommended. Generally, insertion speed of 100 to 150mm per minute after preheating around 80 100C will be adequate.

    2. Minimum insertion length of the non-metallic should be more than fifteen times of its overall diameter, excepting those of higher heat conductivity materials like SiC and Cermet, which need twenty five times or more.

  • ThermowellsThermowells which are made of solid bar stock of various heat and corrosion resistant alloys by drilling are usually preferred over the tip welded protection tubes for critical applications where high mechanical strength and longer service life are required. If the alloy bar material is correctly selected and designed properly, the Thermowell lasts long against corrosives, high pressure, high temperature, mechanical shock and vibration that may result from high velocity of fluids. In order to offer the best and safest. A specially developed computer programme as based upon operating conditions at the site makes Thermowells against Karmans Turbulence and other stresses, automatic calculations of mechanical strength to fluid pressure and flow velocity to estimate frequency of critical resonance. At TECHNO, a genuine Two Shaft Gun Drilling Machine of two-metre max manufactures Thermowells.

    Thermowells are ideal where a sensor is required to be inserted into a process where external elements such as pressure, corrosion, or abrasion affect the life of the sensor. . Techno has been manufacturing solid barstock type Thermowells to accommodate applications in the petrochemical, chemical, refining, power and other process industries for many years. Threaded, flanged, weld-in, socket, Van Stone and other styles are custom made to your specs or available from our large inventory for immediate shipment. Optional coatings and sprays are also offered.

    protection tubes& thermowells

    Thermowell Design FactorsMaterial of Construction Thermowell material must be chemically compatible with the process system and the temperature sensor. In most cases, thermowell selection is based on the corrosive conditions in the well environment. Sometimes The selection may be based solely on the mechanical strength needed to withstand operating pressure and process flow. Often a combination of factors must be considered. In addition to selecting the proper base material, coatings may be used to improve a thermowell's resistance to abrasion or the chemical process.

    The thermowell wall must be thin enough to minimize sensor error caused by thermal conduction and slow sensor response, but thick enough to withstand collapse from process pressure, erosion from abrasive media and bending from the process flow. Spring-load mounting styles are recommended to ensure positive contact to maximize thermal transfer and minimize sensor vibration within a thermowell.

    Insertion Length The insertion length or 'U' length is the distance from the end of the well to the underside of the thermowell thread or other connection device. For maximum accuracy, this length must be long enough to permit the temperature sensor to be fully immersed in the media to be measured and minimize sensor error caused by thermal conduction, But short enough to withstand damage caused by process flow vibration. As a general rule of thumb, the thermowell should extend into the process a minimum of 10 times the sensor diameter or, in the case of RTDs, 10 times the sensor diameter plus one inch. This should extend the sensor into the process between 1/3 and 1/2 the diameter of the process pipe. The insertion length must also take into consideration any dead length required to pass through walls, pipe fittings and insulation.

    protection tubes & thermowells

    Velocity The most common cause of well failure is the vibration effect caused by fluid forming a turbulent wake as it flows past the well. This turbulence has a definite vibration frequency based on the diameter of the well and the velocity of the fluid. The well must have sufficient stiffness to ensure that the wake frequency will never equal the natural frequency of the well. If the natural frequency of the well coincides with the wake frequency, the well will potentially vibrate to destruction. To be in compliance with the ASME Performance Test Code, the thermowell should have a natural frequency a minimum of 125% of the wake frequency. Tapered shank wells (heavy duty - Type H) have a high strength-to-weight ratio with a resultant higher natural resonant frequency than the equivalent length straight shank well. Tapered shank wells are preferred for operation at higher fluid velocities.

    Process ConnectionTechno Instruments Technologies provides standardized wells in most of the common connection types, including threaded, flanged and socket weld types with standard bore sizes. Threaded wells are available in materials that can be readily welded. Flanged wells are manufactured by welding a bar stock well to the specified flange style. Doubled-welded construction reduces crevice corrosion and stress problems by ensuring that no open joints are exposed inside or outside the installation.

    Bore Size Selection of a standard bore size throughout the plant permits the use of several types of temperature measuring instruments in the same wells. Techno standard bore sizes fit most bores. This number represents the inside diameter of the well, expressed in thousandths of an inch.

    protection tubes & thermowells

    Protective coatings For some applications, thermowell resistance to environments can be greatly improved with surface applied coatings. Thus, a thermowell exposed to abrasion may be provided with a hard surface by applying suitable alloy coatings to the outside. While hardness levels tend to fall off with increasing temperature, some of these coatings remain quite hard (e.g. Rockwell C45) up to at least 1000 Deg F.

    Techno is market leader in such coated Thermowells and had provided hundreds of its clients with positive drift in their cost-efficiency curve with the help of such protective coatings

    Coating is applied over thestepped dwon base mental,which offers resistance toerosion as well as corrosion

    Base metal is stepped downto allow coting application.

    thermocouple forbake ovenFrequent failure of measuring elements and replacement is a waste of man hour and revenue. At TECHNO we have designed a thermocouple which doesn't require replacement of element.

    SALIENT FEATURE:

    * Protection tube made of drilled bar of Alloy 601. Which gives 2-3 times the life of conventional fabricated wells.

    * Measuring element is hermatically sealed mineral insulated element.

  • thermocouplefor boiler bedFailure of thermocouple / protectionwell, due to erosion by coal/ash, is a common problem in CFBC / AFBC boiler bed temperature measurement. We have designed a product which can perform satisfactory for long time.

    SALIENT FEATURE:

    * Base metal Alloy 600 has excellent resistance against sagging of 950 C.

    * Overlay of wolphrom in cobalt matrix in parts erosion resistance at elevated temperature.
