CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Temperature Measurement Introduction
signal generated is typically from several microvolts to tens of
millivolt depending on the temperature difference.
Thermocouples and RTDs (resistance temperature detectors)
are the most frequently used sensors for temperature
measurement in industrial applications. Thermocouples are
able to measure very high temperatures up to about +2300°C
and also have a fast response time (measured in fractions of a
second). RTDs are capable of higher accuracy and stability than
thermocouples, and the resistance of long wire lengths
(hundreds of meters) to a remote RTD can be compensated for
with 3- or 4-wire connections.
A thermocouple consists of two wires of different metals joined
at one end. This end is placed at the temperature which is to be
measured, refered to as the measurement junction. The other
end is connected to a precision voltage measurement unit, and
this connection is referred to as the reference junction or alternately
the cold junction. The temperature difference between the
measurement junction and the cold junction generates a voltage
(known as the Seebeck effect voltage) that is related to the
difference between the temperatures of the two junctions. The
For example, K-type thermocouples are capable of measuring
−200°C to +1350°C with an output range of approximately −10
mV to +60 mV. It is important for the signal chain to maintain
as high impedance and low leakage as possible to achieve the
highest accuracy for the voltage measurement. In order to
convert this voltage to an absolute temperature, the cold junction
temperature must be accurately known. Traditionally 1°C to 2°C
has been considered sufficient, although since the cold junction
measurement error contributes directly to the absolute
temperature error, a higher accuracy cold junction temperature
measurement is beneficial
An RTD is made from a pure material, such as platinum, nickel
or copper, that has a predictable change in resistance as the
temperature changes.The most widely used RTD is platinum
(Pt100 and Pt1000).
One method used to accurately measure the resistance is to
measure the voltage across the RTD generated by a constant
current source. Errors in the current source can be cancelled by
referring the measurement to the voltage generated across a
