19、quantity, and provides a digital output. This digitaloutput goes to a digital display and/or recording device that may be internal or external to the device.3.1.1.2 DiscussionThe devices are often referred to as a “digital thermometer,”thermometers,” however the term includes devices that sensetempe

21、thatfurther immersion does not produce a change in indicated temperature greater than the specified tolerance.4. Summary of Guide4.1 This guide provides the criteria for several digital contact thermometers (DCT). The DCT criteria were selected so that thetemperature measured by a DCT would be expec

22、ted to be essentially the same as that measured by a LiG thermometer. Thesecriteria focus on temperature measurement in Committee D02 test methods or similar measurement situations. In many D02 testmethods, the temperature of a small static sample volume is being made thus the difference between dev

23、ice thermal conductivitywill have a large impact on equivalent measurements. It is the responsibility of the standard developer and user to ensure that aspecific DCT criteria will adequately replace a cited liquid-in-glass thermometer.4.2 The DCT temperature sensing elements used in this guide are p

Both PRTs andthermistors are members of a group referred to as resistance temperature detectors (RTD) as their resistance is a function

Significance and Use5.1 The DCT criteria listed in Table 1 have been found to be suitable for replacing some of the noted liquid-in-glassthermometers with a DCT. The criter

26、ia stated are based on the liquid-in-glass (LiG) thermometer design which are the bulb length,immersion depth, precision of measurement, thermometer position, etc. and so forth. The parameters for sensor length, immersiondepth, sheath diameter are especially critical when measuring the temperature o

27、f small static samples due to temperature probethermal conductivity. A DCT that is suitable for use in a stirred constant temperature bath will likely result in measurement errorswhen used to measure small sample temperature. These can be a degree or more when the sample temperature differs from roo

28、mtemperature by 40 C or more using a 7 mm probe. This error is due to the difference in thermal conductivity of a DCT and LiGthermometer. The most effective way to counter this is by reducing DCT sheath diameter, insulating the sheath above theimmersion level, and using a probe that has a small imme

29、rsion depth as determined by Practice D7962.5.2 When replacing a LiG thermometer with one of the D02-DCTs listed in Table 1 and the test method does not list any DCTcriteria, it is incumbent on the user to verify the suitability of the DCT they have selected. This can be done by comparingmeasurement

30、s made with the selected DCT to those of a LiG thermometer and following the test procedure. Comparativemeasurements are especially important when measuring the temperature of a small static sample where there is a large differencebetween sample and room temperature. Covering the DCT probe sheath ex

31、cept for the sensing portion with a glass, plastic, ortubing with a lower thermoconductivity can improve the agreement between LiG and DCT measurements.6. DCT Criteria6.1 The DCT criteria shown in Table 1 are for various temperature measurement applications used in Committee D02 testmethods. DCT cri

32、teria listed in a test method take precedence over those shown in Table 1.NOTE 1The DCTs electronics are typically limited to an environment of 0 C to 35 C. A DCTs temperature limits can be found in its manual orin the manufacturers specifications.D8164 18a36.2 Probe Immersion DepthThis criteria qua

33、ntifies the distance from the DCT probe tip that should be covered by the materialbeing measured in order to obtain an accurate temperature measurement. Immersing the probe in a material by less than itsminimum immersion depth can result in temperature measurements that differ from actual temperatur

34、e. The error is dependent onthe temperature difference between the material being measured and surrounding (ambient) temperature. Immersions greater thanthis immersion depth are acceptable.6.3 Measurement DriftThe drift in calibration should be checked periodically and at least once per year. This c

35、an beaccomplished using Practice D7962 or Test Methods E644. When a DCTs calibration drifts in one direction over severalcalibration checks against a reference temperature, such as the ice point, it may be an indication of deterioration of the DCT. Theprobe is to be recalibrated, when the check valu

36、e differs by more than the calibration drift listed in Table 1 from the last probecalibration. See Practice E563, Test Methods E644, or Guide E1750 for more information regarding checking calibrations.NOTE 2For reference temperatures, additional information on preparing and using an ice bath can be

37、found in Practice E563. Guide E1750 providesguidance for preparing and using a water triple point cell.6.4 Response Timeis the time it takes a DCT probe (sensor) to respond to a step change in temperature. This is defined as63.2 % of the time it takes a DCT to fully respond to a step change in tempe

38、rature. The test is done This parameter is typicallymeasured by the DCT supplier and noted in the DCT specifications. The determination of response time is to be measuredaccording to Section 9 of Test Methods E644, where the step change begins with the DCT probe at an initial temperature of 20 C6 5

39、C air before transferring to water at 77 C 6 5 C with it flowing at 0.9 ms 6 0.09 ms past the sensor.sensor, or anequivalent method.6.5 CalibrationThe calibration temperature data should be evenly distributed over a devices When a device is calibrated forthe full nominal temperature range (Table 1)

40、or over the range of use if narrower than the nominal temperature range. the“range-of-use” is greater than 90 C, the calibration data should consist of a minimum of four data points. When the“range-of-use“ is from 30 C to 90 C then a minimum of three data points are sufficient. When the “range-of-us

41、e” is less than30 C then a minimum of two data points are sufficient. The calibration data should be included in calibration report. Thecalibration report should be obtained from a calibration laboratory with demonstrated competency in temperature calibration whichis traceable to a national calibrat

42、ion laboratory or metrology standards body. An example is a calibration laboratory with a ISO17025 accreditation that includes temperature calibration.6.6 ThermowellsWhen inserting a DCT probe into a thermowell with a larger diameter, a sleeve is needed to ensure goodthermal transfer from the wall t

43、o the DCT sheath. This sleeve is to be made from a thermally conductive substance such as metalsuch as copper, brass, bronze, aluminum, steel, or other material.6.7 A DCT Certification/Calibration report may differ from a liquid-in-glass thermometer since a system adjustment can allowreadings to be

44、closely matched to the reference at the test point values. If system adjustments can not be made then the report needsto include the correction factors needed to bring the display temperature to the correct value along with guidance on applying them.Areport may showAS FOUND values that were document

45、ed before adjustments, andAS LEFT which are the values documentedafter adjustments may have been made. A DCTs accuracy (tolerance) as shown in its calibration report is to be consistent withthose listed for its “E2877 Class”.7. DCT Citation7.1 The DCT citation referencing these criteria in a standar
