Prediction of Dynamic Characteristics of Thermocouples with Thin-Wire Sensing Elements by I. A. Safina, S. A. Artemyeva

“…Thermocouples dynamic characteristicsʼ prediction makes it possible to provide effective continuous correction in automatic control systems for non-stationary temperatures. The purpose of this paper was to develop a theoretically justified relation linking the current or expected time constant of fine-wire thermocouples with the known time constant established at known parameters of liquid and gaseous media.A formula linking the time constant of fine-wire thermocouples with the conditions of heat exchange with the measured medium and the thermophysical characteristics of the thermocouple sensing elements has been deducted. …”
