Overview

Introduction
Several methods of temperature measurement and control have been developed over the years. Industrial process control usually requires that the temperature sensing device must be remote from the measuring or controlling instrument. Of the various thermal sensing devices, the thermocouple is most commonly used, offering the best compromise of cost, accuracy and reliability. We are a leading manufacturer of thermocouples. Our modern production facilities and years of experience allow us to provide the highest quality sensors at competitive prices. Warning Hazardous extraneous voltage capable of causing severe injury or death may exist between thermocouple leads and ground. Disconnecting the instrument power may not remove this voltage. Measure for the presence of voltage between each sensor lead and ground before servicing.

Thermocouple Assemblies
A thermocouple assembly generally has four major components: Element Two wires of dissimilar alloys joined at the tip. When the ends are exposed to a temperature gradient, and electromotive force (EMF) is generated. The EMF is very small, amounting to microvolts per degree. A metal or ceramic tube, usually closed at the end, that protects the element from the environment of the process.

Protection Tube

Head or Cold End Termination The head is a terminal block/protective enclosure assembly provided for connection to thermocouple extension wire. In lieu of this, an integrated extension assembly may be provided. Extension Wire Although not a portion of the thermocouple assembly itself, the extension wire is a critical part of the total circuit. The wire must be manufactured from alloys compatible with the element. In addition, various mounting devices or attaching devices are offered for most assemblies.

Construction Styles
Thermocouples have been manufactured in endless combinations of construction. While no supplier can meet 100% of all customer requirements, we offer one of the widest varieties of thermocouple assemblies in the industry. Three styles of construction dominate: Tube and Element, BARCOPAC and Bayonet.

Tube and Element Head Tube Element

The protection tube, head and element are discrete components. The element is manufactured with individual conductors welded together at the tip. Element wires are separated by ceramic insulators. The protection tube can be thin wall tubing, schedule 40 pipe, ceramic or cast iron. Cold end termination is usually with a head and terminal block assembly. Noble metal thermocouples are often supplied with two or more protection tubes. The tube in contact with the element must be ceramic; the outer tube can be either ceramic or metal. HA136712 Page 1-1

Construction Styles (continued)

Overview

BARCOPAC is the trade name for our magnesium-oxide (MgO) insulated thermocouples. This style consists of element conductors in magnesium oxide insulation with a stainless steel or Inconel sheath. The assembly is then drawn to the finish diameter. This form of construction compacts the insulation around the conductors. The result is a thermocouple with superior performance and longevity. The material can be bent to nearly any desired shape without damaging the element. Diameters of 0.040 to 0.250 are available.

Bayonet

The element is made from fiberglass insulated wire in a stainless steel protection tube. Usually the element is brazed to the tube at the tip. Mounting is with a twist-lock fitting commonly referred as a bayonet adapter. This form of construction is sometimes known as a plastic style because of its heavy usage in the plastics industry.

Alloy Selection

A thermocouple element consists of two wires of dissimilar alloys joined at the tip. When the ends of the elements are exposed to a temperature difference, an EMF is generated along the entire length of the element. The EMF level is dependent on the amount of temperature difference and the type of alloys used.

Alloy combinations have been developed to meet specific requirements. Each alloy set has certain characteristics (cost, temperature range, corrosion, resistance, etc.) that provide advantages for specific applications.

To simplify selection and provide uniformity, several alloy combinations have had single letter codes assigned by ANSI (American National Standards Institute) to designate particular types of thermocouples. For example, Type J for Iron vs. Constantan, Type K for Chromel vs. Alumel, and Type R for Platinum vs. Platinum/13% Rhodium. Each alloy set has a unique EMF output for a given temperature. The measuring instrument is calibrated for a specific type thermocouple. When specifying replacement thermocouples, the element is typically the same type as the original.

Elements are classified into three groups: Base Metal, Noble Metal and Refractory Metal. Main advantages are economical cost, good reliability and reasonable accuracy. Use primarily for low to moderately high temperature range (-200 to 1700C). Over 90% of all thermocouples are in this group. Types J and K prevail. Type E, Chromel vs. Constantan Suitable for use from -200 to 871C. Can be applied in atmospheres ranging from vacuum to mildly oxidizing. Excellent choice for cryogenic applications. Has the highest EMF per degree of all the common elements.

Alloy Selection (continued)
The standard selection for use from 0 to 600C. Type J has good reliability at lower temperatures. The positive leg will oxidize rapidly above 500C. Very economical. Used extensively in the plastics industry but applicable to almost any process within its operating range. Available in a wide variety of construction styles. Type K, Chromel vs. Alumel Type K is the industry standard for use up to 1250C. While stable in oxidizing atmospheres, it is prone to corrosion in reducing environments. Protection tubes are always recommended. Type N, Nicrosil vs. Nisil Similar to Type K but more resistant to oxidation and less subject to large drift in the EMF that is found in the positive Type K thermocouples operating at approximately 500C. Type T, Copper vs. Constantan Suitable for use from -200 to 350C, Type T is widely used in the food processing industry. More stable than Types E or J for low temperature applications. Has been used down to -269C (boiling helium). Elements, Noble Metal Elements manufactured from noble metals offer improved accuracy and stability over base metals. Most are manufactured from combinations of Platinum and Rhodium. Commonly used in high temperature applications up to 1700C. Also applied as reference standard when testing base metal elements. Highest cost of all thermocouples. Type R, Platinum vs. Platinum/13% Rhodium Type R has long been the industrial standard noble metal alloy used for high temperature applications to 1450C. Platinum is prone to contamination if in contact with other metals. Ceramic protection tubes must be used. Very stable in an oxidizing atmosphere but will degrade rapidly in vacuum or a reducing atmosphere. Type S, Platinum vs. Platinum/13% Rhodium Applications and conditions similar to Type R. Type S was applied as the laboratory thermocouple while Type R was considered the industrial thermocouple. This practice was based on tradition. Type S is not being used extensively as an industrial sensor. Type B, Platinum/6% Rhodium vs. Platinum/30% Rhodium Applications and considerations similar to Types R and S, but useful to 1700C. Very low output at low temperature. Also very non-linear at low end. Generally not considered usable below 250C. More stable than R or S at high temperature. Must be protected in ceramic tube. Elements Refractory Metal Combinations of Tungsten and Rhenium. Very brittle and prone to breakage. Used for very high temperature applications up to 2300C. Must be used in vacuum or totally inert atmosphere. Type C, Tungsten/5% Rhenium vs. Tungsten/26% Rhenium May be used at temperatures up to 2315C. Brittle and prone to breakage. Generally considered a limited life product. Element must not be in contact with metal. Tungsten has no oxidation resistance. These elements must be used in vacuum, hydrogen or totally inert gas. Sometimes supplied with open end protection tube for use with vacuum. Otherwise manufactured as a sealed assembly purged with argon. Selecting the Element When selecting the proper element for an application, consideration must be given to length of service, temperature, atmosphere, response time, and cost. Be certain the Type (J, K, R, S, T, etc.) matches the instrument with which it will be used.

Overview
The following table shows the allowable temperature limits for commonly used thermocouples and RTDs. These limits apply to thermocouples in conventional closed end protection tubes. In any general recommendations of temperature elements, it is not practicable to take into account special cases. In actual operation there may be instances where the temperature limits recommended can be exceeded. Likewise, there may be applications where satisfactory life will not be obtained at the recommended temperature limits. However, in general, the temperature limits listed are such as to provide satisfactory element life when the wires are operated continuously at these temperatures.

Extension Wire
A common misconception is that the EMF is generated at the tip. The voltage is actually produced along the entire length of the element and is proportional to the temperature gradient from one end to the other. One end of the element is the junction at the hot end. The other end (cold junction) of the thermocouple is at the measuring/control instrument. The extension wire between the measuring instrument and the thermocouple assembly is part of the thermocouple circuit. It will supply a portion of the EMF generated. The extension wire must be compatible with the alloys used in the thermocouple. For base metal thermocouples the extension wire is usually constructed of the same alloys as the element. For noble metal elements, base metal alloys are selected to match the characteristics of the element within the operating range of 0 to 150C. Two types of wire are available: thermocouple grade and extension grade. Thermocouple grade wire is manufactured with alloys identical to the wire use for elements. Extension grade wire for base metal thermocouples is made with similar EMF properties at ambient

temperature, but is not rated for accuracy at high temperature. Insulation is the largest factor determining performance of extension wire. Moisture resistance, abrasion resistance, temperature rating and cost are factors to be considered. PVC has excellent moisture and abrasion resistance but is only rated to 105C. Its low cost makes it a good choice for many applications. Teflon and Kapton are alternatives to PVC when higher temperatures are encountered. Ratings as high as 315C are available. Fiberglass braided insulations have less moisture resistance, but temperature ratings up to 700C are available. Ceramic and Silica fiber have the highest temperature ranges but abrasion and moisture resistance are poor. Ceramic insulation rated at 1430C is often used for furnace survey thermocouples.

Protection Tubes
Protection tubes are necessary to protect the element from contamination and physical damage. Size, shape and material vary with the application. Choices vary with the style of construction. Bayonet style thermocouples are only available with stainless steel sheaths. This material has the durability required for the limited range of conditions encountered. BARCOPAC thermocouples are offered in a variety of stainless steel alloys plus Inconel. Stainless steel has excellent resistance to corrosion but is limited to applications below 870C. Inconel has a high nickel content and is the preferred choice for applications to 1140C. Typically, Type J assemblies are manufactured with stainless steel, and Type K uses Inconel. Countless combinations of assemblies manufactured from discrete element and protection tubes exist. We offer a selection of styles designed to meet the requirements of a broad range of applications. Protection tubes are available in metallic and non-metallic materials. The selection of material is dependent on the environment of the process. Generally, the larger diameter tubes offer better physical strength and longevity. They can also accommodate heavier gauge elements. The benefit of larger tubes must be weighed against the added cost of the material. In some cases, limited life material may be more cost effective than premium grade assemblies. Metal Low alloy material (black iron or welded steel pipe) is a good selection for application to non-corrosive environments. Advantages include low cost, excellent abrasion resistance and good physical strength. Deteriorates above 550C in oxidizing atmosphere. Available in a variety of sizes.

Overview
Protection Tubes (continued)
Stainless steel offers improved resistance to corrosion over welded steel pipe. It has good strength and stability to 870C (446 SS is rated to 1100C). Available in a variety of alloys and sizes. Cost varies from moderate to high depending on specific alloy selected. Inconel is the choice for application in highly reducing atmospheres operating at higher temperatures than stainless steel. Has excellent strength and resistance to corrosion up to 1150C. We offer alloy 601 which has superior characteristics than commonly used alloy 600. Cost is higher than most stainless steels. Available in 1/2 or 3/4 NPT schedule 40 pipe. Inconel 600 thin wall tubing is also available. Ceramic Ceramics can tolerate high temperatures than any metal pipe. They can often withstand corrosive environments too extreme for the best stainless alloys. All ceramics lack the resilience of metal and are prone to breakage. Mullite, also know as porcelain, is a good choice for base metal thermocouples. Advantages include moderate cost, good thermal conductivity and good resistance to thermal shock. Has less physical strength than alumina. Recommended for use below 1450C. Alumina has greater strength than Mullite and can be applied at higher temperatures. Use is typically restricted to noble metal thermocouples though it may be applied to base metal because of its corrosion resistance. Has less resistance to thermal shock than Mullite. Silicon Carbide offers greater corrosion resistance than any commonly offered metal or ceramic material. Excellent thermal conductivity and resistance to thermal shock. Very brittle. Extreme care must be taken to prevent physical shock.

Resistance Temperature Detectors

RTDs are thermal sensors that change resistance with temperature. The amount of change is dependent on the change in temperature and the specific alloy of the conductor. In certain applications, an RTD is a better choice than a thermocouple. RTDs are more accurate than thermocouples especially over a narrow temperature range. Standard accuracy ratings of 0.25% and 0.10% are offered. The RTD sensing element is a coil of wire precision wound to a specific resistance value. The element is hermetically sealed in glass to prevent influence from moisture. This element is then mounted in the tip of a metal protection tube for physical protection. Physical configuration of the complete assembly is similar to a thermocouple. RTDs have been manufactured from several alloys, including copper, nickel and platinum based material. We supply platinum based units in two different coefficients. The primary advantage of using an RTD is greater accuracy. Disadvantages include higher cost and less resistance to physical shock. Since the element has greater mass, the RTD will respond slower than a thermocouple. The decision to us an RTD versus a thermocouple has to be based on these factors.

Resistance Coefficient

The change in resistance per degree (resistance coefficient) depends on the specific alloy content of the wire. In past years, several coefficients were marketed. Most U.S. manufactured RTDs had coefficients near 0.00391 / /C. Industry has now standardized on the DIN (Deutsche Industrie-Norm) specification of 0.00385 / /C. We can supply either sensor.

RTD Configurations

Overview

If a sensor relates resistance to temperature, then the resistance of the lead wire can affect the accuracy of the reading. Various methods have been developed to compensate. This has resulted in RTDs being manufactured in two wire, three wire and four wire configurations. Two Wire
Red White

The two wire element has no provision for lead wire compensation other than increasing the size of the lead wire. It is suitable for installations where the distance to the measuring instrument is short, or accuracy is not critical. The three wire configuration is the industry standard. Two red wires are tied together at the element. The white wire is terminated at the other end of the element. The measuring instrument can sense the resistance of the two red wires, and subtract this from the resistance between one red wire and the white wire. This is accurate as long as all three leads are the same length and gauge. Four wire RTDs have two wires terminated at each end of the element. Current to the sensor is supplied on one wire, and the voltage value is measured on the other. Since there is no current flowing in the measuring wires, no error is contributed by lead wire resistance. Four wire sensors are usually restricted to laboratory environments.

Overview

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Traceable Certification of New Thermocouple Assemblies, New Thermocouple Wire, and Platinum RTDs

Introduction
The factory will provide a certification report which shows the degrees deviation from a standard at the temperatures certified in accordance with the provisions discussed below.

Certification
A reference RTD or type S thermocouple standard is used for temperatures above 200F. A liquid-in-glass thermometer or reference RTD is used for temperatures below 200F. NIST traceability is available through 2650F, where appropriate, based on thermocouple type. The minimum length of thermocouple wire or RTD that the factory will certify is 12 inches. Only new, unused wire, thermocouples, and RTDs are certified. Certain finished assemblies cannot be certified. The factory will determine if certification for an assembly is appropriate in our facilities. Aerospace Material Specification AMS-2570, Rev. C, Section 3.1 provides for the use of thermocouples made from calibrated wire rolls. The charge for this service is the same as for certification of two individual thermocouples. All thermocouples on the order must use the same wire and be calibrated to identical temperatures. Consult the factory to determine the maximum number of thermocouples that may be calibrated from one wire length. Specify end point certification per AMS-2750 when requesting this service. The factory will not warrant or guarantee that sensors shall have accuracy better than specified in the following tables. Table 1.

Certification
Certification (continued)
Certain characteristics of thermocouple materials, including the EMF v temperature relationship may change with time in use. Consequently, test results and performance obtained at the time of manufacture may not necessarily apply throughout an extended period of use. Tolerances given in this table apply only to new wire as delivered, and do not allow for changes in characteristics with use. The magnitude of such changes will depend on such factors as wire size, temperature, time of exposure and environment. In addition, due to possible changes in homogeneity, attempting to re-calibrate used thermocouples is likely to yield irrelevant results, and is not recommended. However, it may be appropriate to compare used thermocouples in-situ with new or know good ones to ascertain their suitability for further service under the conditions of the comparison. Table 2.

Table 4. Suggested Upper Limits for Sheathed Thermocouples

These suggestions do not take into account environment temperature limitations of the sheath material, nor do they address compatibility considerations between the element materials and the sheath containing them. The actual maximum practical temperature in a particular situation will generally be limited to the lowest temperature among the several factors involved. Consult ASTM MNL 12 Manual on the Use of Thermocouples in Temperature Measurement (available from ASTM headquarters) and other literature sources for further application information. The temperature limits suggested here are intended only as a guide and should not be taken as absolute values, or as guarantees of satisfactory performance. These types and sizes are sometimes used at temperatures above the given limits, but usually at the expense of stability or life, or both. In other instances, it may be necessary to reduce the given limits in order to achieve adequate service.

Certification (continued)
Table 5 Recommended T/C and RTD Certification Temperature Ranges The following table shows the allowable temperature limits for commonly used thermocouples and RTDs. These limits apply to thermocouples in conventional closed end protection tubes. In any general recommendations of temperature elements, it is not practicable to take into account special cases. In actual operation there may be instances where the temperature limits recommended can be exceeded. Likewise, there may be applications where satisfactory life will not be obtained at the recommended temperature limits. However, in general, the temperature limits listed are such as to provide satisfactory element life when the wires are operated continuously at these temperatures.
