Temperature Sensor Trainer

Order Code: 52033A

SPECIFICATION

Measurement of temperature is an important task in a large number of physical processes. A transducer in a device which converts the temperature information into an electrical signal, usually voltage, for an automated processing. A very wide variety of temperature transducers are commonly available which differ from each other with regards to there:

- Range of operation - Sensitivity and linearity
- Accuracy, Stability and Repeatability
- Speed of response
The present experiments has been designed to study the input output characteristics of some common transducers like, thermistors NTC type, K-type thermocouple, Platinum type Pt100, semiconductor sensors and may be extended to also study the temperature coefficients of resistances.

The main requirements for an experiment of this nature are,
A precisely controlled from oven with a temperature display which is fast
B An adjustable gain instrumentation amplifier which may be used to amplify the different levels of signals from transducers
C Interfacing circuits suitable for the transducers used.

Features

Study of 4 different temperature transducers - NTC thermistors, RTD Platinum, K(Cr-Al) thermocouples, IC temperature sensors.
