TEMPERATURE--HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
• The sensations of hot and cold are fundamental to the human experience,
yet finding ways to measure temperature has challenged many great minds.
It’s unclear if the ancient Greeks or Chinese had ways to measure
temperature, so as far as we know, the history of temperature sensors began
during the Renaissance.
• Ancient people measure
something with physiological
experience whilst touching or
approaching it.

WHAT IS TEMPERATURE ?
• Temperature: A measure proportional to the average translational kinetic
energy associated with the disordered microscopic motion of atoms and
molecules.
• The flow of heat is from a high temperature region toward a lower
temperature region.
• When a high temperature object is placed in contact with a low temperature
object, then energy will flow from the high temperature object to the lower
temperature object, and they will approach an equilibrium temperature.
TEMPERATURE VS HEAT
• Often the concepts of heat and temperature are thought to be
the same, but they are not.
• Temperature is a number that is related to the average kinetic
energy of the molecules of a substance. If temperature is
measured in Kelvin degrees, then this number is directly
proportional to the average kinetic energy of the molecules.
• Heat is a measurement of the total energy in a substance. That
total energy is made up of not only of the kinetic energies of
the molecules of the substance, but total energy is also made
up of the potential energies of the molecules.
REFERENCE TEMPERATURES
• Must rely upon temperatures
established by physical
phenomena which are
consistently observed in
nature.
• The International
Temperature Scale (ITS) is
based on such observed
phenomena, establishes
fourteen fixed points and
corresponding temperatures.
ITS-90
PRINCIPLE OF ITS-90
ITS-90 is an example of the construction of an ordinal scale to approximate the
metric scale for thermodynamic temperature. The approximation is based on
three types of device, as summarized :
• Fixed points. These are the melting, boiling and triple points of pure substances.
Each point is highly reproducible, and is assigned a temperature that is believed to
be close to the thermodynamic temperature of the point.
• Interpolating thermometers. These are highly reproducible thermometers of four
different types: helium vapour-pressure thermometer, helium- or hydrogen-gas
thermometer, platinum resistance thermometer and radiation thermometer. Each is
calibrated at one or more fixed points.
• Interpolating equations. The thermometer reading at each of the fixed points is used
to construct an equation, of a specified form, that passes through each of the points.
The interpolating equation is then used to provide readings for temperatures
between the fixed points. About half of the ITS-90 interpolation equations are
equivalent to Lagrange interpolation.
CONTACT THERMOMETRY
BULB THERMOMETERS
• A thermometer is a device used to measure temperature.
• 1592 - Galileo Galilei builds a thermometer using the contraction of air to
draw water up a tube
BI-METALLIC THERMOMETERS
• If you take two metals with
different thermal expansion
coefficients and bond them
together, they will bend in one
direction if the temperature
rises above the temperature at
which the boding was done and
in the direction if temperature
drops.
• Devices Can be used to
indirectly Drive an Electronic
Indicator
If two different straight metal strips are bonded together and heated, the
resultant strip will bend toward the side of the metal with the lower expansion
rate. Deflection is proportional to the square of the length and the temperature
change and inversely proportional to the thickness.
THERMISTORS
• A thermistor is an electrical resistor used to
measure temperature. A thermistor designed
such that its resistance varies with
temperature.
THERMISTORS
• Measure resistance, e.g., with a multimeter, Convert resistance to
temperature with calibration equation
THERMISTORS
Advantages
• Sensor output is directly related to absolute temperature – no reference
junction needed.
• Relatively easy to measure resistance
Disadvantages
• Possible self-heating error,e.g. Repeated measurements in rapid succession
can cause thermistor to heat up
• More expensive than thermocouples: $20/each versus $1/each per junction
• More difficult to apply for rapid transients: slow response and self-heating
THERMISTORS
Thermistors usually are made of a semiconductor and have the following
properties:
• Much larger dR/dT than RTD’s
• Fast Response
• Inconsistent, must be calibrated individually
• Can change over time
IC SENSORS
• The newest type of temperature sensor on the
market is the integrated circuit (IC) temperature
transducer. IC sensors can be designed to
produce either voltage or current output and are
extremely linear.
THERMOCOUPLES
THERMOCOUPLES
• The most commonly used device for temperature measurements, with the
possible exception of thermometer, is the thermocouple.
• Thermocouples operate on the principle that a voltage is generated by two
dissimilar metals in contact with each other when a temperature variation
exists through the metals.
• Thermocouples are active measurement devices since there is no power
input to thermocouples
• Temperature difference generates voltage
THERMOCOUPLES
• The thermocouple effect (the « Seebeck » effect) was discovered in 1821,
when showing that a new voltage is generated when the junctions of
different metals are heated to different temperatures.
• A decade later, Peltier showed that this effect was reversible: thermal
effects were observed when small, externally imposed currents were
directed through the junctions of different thermocouple wires.

THERMOMETRY
NON-CONTACT PYROMETER
• Pengukuran temperatur dengan metoda pirometrik
menggunakan radiasi elektromagnetik yang dipancarkan oleh
objek yang diukur. Terdapat dua pirometer dasar : inframerah
dan akustik.
• Pirometer inframerah mengukur jumlah energi yang
diradiasikan dari suatu objek untuk menentukan
temperaturnya. Material yang berbeda memancarkan radiasi
dengan panjang gelombang yang berbeda pula.
• Untuk memilih pirometer yang efektif maka pita panjang
gelombang perlu ditentukan sehingga tidak diserap
lingkungan.
PIROMETER INFRAMERAH
Terdapat tiga tipe pirometer inframerah :
• Radiasi total : thermometer tipe ini mengukur semua energy, sepanjang
spektrum. Karena luasnya spektrum sensing, pengukuran tipe ini dengan
mudah dipengaruhi ketidakmurnian atau ketidakkonsistenan antara sensor
dan objek. Kesalahan terbesar terjadi pada material dengan emisivitas lebih
rendah.
• Panjang gelombang tunggal : tidak sama dengan radiasi total, tipe ini
mengukur magnitudo radiasi pada satu panjang gelombang. Optimasi
keakuratan tipe ini dilakukan melalui pemilihan panjang gelombang yang
paling tepat atau cocok dengan objek yang akan diukur.
• Panjang gelombang ganda : ketika emisivitas rendah dan sulit mengukur
maka akurasi dan reliabilitas dapat ditingkatkan dengan sensor panjang
gelombang ganda. Tipe ini mengukur magnitudo dari dua panjang
gelombang pada waktu yang bersamaan. Temperatur dihitung dari dua
pembacaan.

PIROMETER AKUSTIK
• Pirometer akustik bekerja berdasarkan prinsip kecepatan suara
dalam gas yang bergantung pada sifat alami gas dan temperaturnya.
Waktu pancaran (time of flight) digunakan, dan karena jarak antar
titik-titik diketahui maka dimungkinkan untuk mengukur setiap
perubahan pada kondisi tersebut. Prinsip ini diadaptasi dari
pengukuran temperatur cairan dan padatan.
• Pirometer akustik digunakan ketika memerlukan temperatur rata-
rata atau temperatur pada area yang luas. Pirometer akustik
bermanfaat untuk mengukur temperatur gas dalam tungku
pembakaran (furnace). Divais ini bekerja pada rentang temperatur
yang luas dan bermanfaat untuk pemetaan kontur thermal.
