What is radiation?

A way thermal energy can be transferred through a vacuum.

What is a way thermal energy can be transferred through a vacuum?

Radiation.

What is a process where heat is transferred through a solid?

Conduction.

Are seebeck voltages big or small?

Real small.

What is the seebeck effect?

What's a sheath?

Material that surrounds the sensing element.

What's a calorie?

Metric unit of work for heat energy.

What's a thermowell good for?

Replacing a probe without shutting down a system, and protects the probe.

What does a thermowell contain?

The probe.

What's a thermopile?

A group of thermocouples connected together in series.

What's a thermopile sensitive to?

Small temperature changes.

What is BTU?

British thermal unit.

What is the transfer of heat through fluids?

Convection.

What is BTU? Not acronym.

Standard unit of work for heat energy.

What is forced convection?

Forcing temperatures through fluid from one area to another. With like a fan.

What's thermodynamics?

Thermal movement from hot to cold.

What's a pyrometer?

Detects temperature based in electromagnetic radiation. Non contact.

What is absolute zero?

The absence of heat. Zero Kelvin.

What are the units for measuring temperature?

Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin.

What are the units for measuring heat energy?

BTU and the Calorie

What's the symbol for a normally closed temperature switch?

What are the four types of media a thermocouple can be used with?

Solid, liquid, and gas, and vacuum.

What size is a thermocouple?

Very small.

As the diameter of a thermocouple gets smaller, what happens to its temperature rating?

Goes down.

What's used to designate the different types of thermocouples?

Letters.

How to extend the lead wires on a thermocouple?

Use extension grade wires.

When extending the lead wires in thermocouples, why should you use extension grade wires?

So you're connecting to metal of the same type.

On an ANSI J type thermocouple, what color is the negative wire?

Red.

What's an exposed thermocouple junction have? (good and bad)

Fast response time, most easily damaged.

What's an ungrounded thermocouple junction have? (good, good, and bad)

Protected, electrically isolated, slow response time.

What's a grounded thermocouple junction have? (good, good, and bad)

Medium response time, protected, and susceptible to electrical noise.

What does RTD stand for?

Resistance temperature detectors.

What is the actual RTD temperature sensing unit called?

The element.

Which RTD probe lead wire configuration provides the most precise temperature measurement?

Style three. Four wire. Black Black Red red.

What is the most common type of RTD lead wire configuration?

Style two. Three wire. Black black red.

What is a common RTD resistance?

100 ohms. Pt100.

What's a thermocouple? (good, bad)

Least sensitive, widest range.

What are characteristics of the RTD? (good, good, bad)

Interchangeable, moderately sensitive, but glass type can't handle vibrations.

What are characteristics of the thermistor? (good, bad)

Very sensitive, narrow temperature range.

Does a thermistor have a positive or a negative temperature coefficient?

Negative.

When selecting a thermocouple, what are you looking for?

Temperature, media compatibility, pressure, response time, and junction type.

Bigger diameter of probe means what? Except for?

Longer response time. Exposed.

Title these.

Exposed, grounded, exposed, ungrounded.

What are the three types of probes?

Exposed, grounded, ungrounded.

What's the name of the electronic circuit that RTDs and thermistors are put in?

Wheatstone bridge.

What's the color of the IEC thermocouple negative wire lead color?

White.

What are types of visual temperature indicators?

Thermometer, gas or liquid inside. Bimetallic strip. Crayons.

How do you convert fahrenheit to Celsius?

(F-32)x(5/9)

Convert Celsius to fahrenheit?

F = (Cx(9/5)) + 32

What temperature is the RTD resistance value based on?

Ice point. 0 degrees Celsius.

What is RTD used as in a single phase AC motor?

A centrifugal switch. Heats up when motor runs, because of this resistance goes up, which eliminates current going to start motor.

Does an RTD have a positive or negative temp coefficient?

Positive.

How do you connect a two wire RTD to a three wire temperature controller input connection?

Like this. Jumper wire.

What is a pyrometer?

Temp gun! Silly

What's a pyrometer used for?

Non contact troubleshooting of electrical and mechanical things.

Smaller diameter of probe means what for response them?

Shorter response time.

Probe response time vs shield diameter?

Smaller sheath diameter, faster response time. Vice versa.

Thermocouple probe temperature limit vs sheath diameter?

Smaller sheath diameter = smaller temperature limit. Vice versa.

Thermocouple voltage vs temperature response curve for different types of thermocouples?

Different types of thermocouples produce different curves with different proportions of temperature and range.

What's the electromechanical symbol for a thermocouple?

What's thermal shunting?

Altering the measurement temperature by inserting a measuring device.

Look over that thermocouple graph.

Good girl.

What does a hygrometer measure?

Relative humidity.

What does a psychrometer measure?

A combination of humidity and temperature, called dewpoint.

Small RTD means what for response time?

Fast response time.

What does a large RTD mean?

Slow response time.
