Significance and Use6.1 This guide presents techniques on the use of thermo-couples and associated equipment for measuring temperaturein cree

14、p and stress-rupture testing in air at temperatures up to1800F (1000C).6.2 Since creep and stress-rupture properties are highlysensitive to temperature, users should make every effortpracticable to make accurate temperature measurements andprovide stable control of the test temperature. The goal of

15、thisguide is to provide users with good pyrometric practice andtechniques for precise temperature control for creep andstress-rupture testing.6.3 Techniques are given in this guide for maintaining astable temperature throughout the period of test.6.4 If the techniques of this guide are followed, the

16、 differ-ence between “indicated”3temperature and “true”4tempera-ture will be reduced to the lowest practical level.7. Apparatus7.1 Instrumentation may be individual instruments, a dataacquisition system (multipoint recorders or digital type), acomputer-based control system, or a combination of these

17、devices. (WarningSince each thermocouple is “grounded”by contacting the specimen, it is necessary that the instrumen-tation treat each thermocouple as isolated or “floating” from allother thermocouples. Neither leg should be connected to acommon ground at the instrumentation end of the system.Also,e

18、quipment having a high common mode rejection ratio isnecessary because of the proximity of strong electromagneticfields from the heating elements of the furnace.)7.2 Temperature Measurement InstrumentationThe mea-surement system should be able to resolve the thermocouplesignal to 60.1F (0.05C). The

19、temperature indication shouldhave no more than 61.0F (0.5C) uncertainty for the purposesof this test. In addition, where specific corrections for thecalibration of individual thermocouples or a thermocouple lotis required, the capability of the instrumentation system toaccommodate these data shall b

20、e considered.7.2.1 Reference Junction Compensation:7.2.1.1 Thermocouples are usually calibrated to a 32F(0C) reference temperature. Unless an ice point reference isused, some means must be provided to compensate for thetemperature where the thermoelectric circuit connects to theinstrument (refer to

21、MNL-12 on Reference Junctions5).7.2.1.2 Reference junction compensation is usually per-formed within the instrumentation itself. Most devices orelectronic data acquisition systems measure the temperaturewhere the thermoelements connect to the input terminals andintroduce a compensating emf to simula

22、te the ice point.7.2.1.3 The input connections shall be isothermal andshielded from sudden changes of temperature.7.2.2 RecalibrationThe accuracy of the temperature mea-surement equipment may be affected by component aging,environment, handling, or wear. Therefore, a periodic recali-bration of the m

23、easuring instrumentation with a checkinginstrument is necessary. The checking instrument should be ofhigher accuracy than the measurement system, and to ensureconformity to national standards, it should be calibrated with aknown primary test standard, traceable to the National Instituteof Standards

24、and Technology.7.3 Temperature Control Equipment RequirementsA tem-perature controller or temperature control system should beselected on the basis of stability (variations of 61F (0.5C) orless), and accuracy (uncertainty of 61.5F (0.7C) or less).Generally, a control system with proportional band, a

25、utomaticreset, and slow approach to final set point features should beused. When employing an automatic feedback control system,the tuning constants or control algorithm shall be optimized,not only to maintain the test specimen at the set point withoutexcessive deviations, but to eliminate or limit

26、the amount ofovershoot upon initial heating.NOTE 1The same precautions regarding reference junction compen-sation in the control device apply as in 7.2.1.7.3.1 ConfigurationThe control configuration may takeone of several forms:7.3.1.1 The center thermocouple is connected to a controlloop that striv

27、es to maintain the temperature of the center of thereduced section at set point. The upper and lower thermo-couples are used to measure the temperatures at the ends of thereduced section. Means shall be provided to adjust the heatingpower above and below the center to equalize the temperatures.7.3.1

28、.2 The bottom and top thermocouples may be con-nected to control loops that regulate the power to the upper andlower heaters independently. Thus, the end temperatures aremaintained automatically. The center thermocouple is usedonly as a monitor.7.3.2 Control System Recalibration and ReliabilityTheco

29、ntrol system should be subjected to routine recalibration, ascircumstances and type of equipment dictate. The checkingprocedure should include calibration of the controller and asensitivity check. A calibration circuit, as shown in AppendixX1, should be employed.7.4 Heating EquipmentFurnaces should

30、be appropriatelysized or adjusted relative to the workload and heat losses toprovide a zone of uniform temperature across the specimen.Because creep and stress-rupture testing is usually done atconstant temperature and with an unchanging furnace load, themain requirement is a well-insulated furnace,

31、 capable ofachieving the desired temperatures. The top and bottom open-ings should be closed to limit convection losses, but thefurnace should not be sealed airtight.8. Hazards8.1 The duration of a creep test ranges from a few hours toseveral hundred hours at elevated temperatures, at least par-tial

32、ly unattended by operators. Such tests are normally endedbefore test specimen failure. Stress-rupture tests may operate at3As defined in Practice E 139 and Test Methods E 292.4As defined in Practice E 139.5Manual on the Use of Thermocouples in Temperature Measurement, ASTMMNL-12.E 633 00 (2005)2high

33、er stresses, higher temperatures, and for shorter times thancreep tests, but they normally continue until the specimen hasachieved its required life or has failed.8.2 The stability of the emf of the thermocouples and therapid response of the control system to any changes oftemperature over the perio

34、d of the test are crucial to maintainthe specimen within the allowable temperature band.8.3 Thermocouple RequirementsThe requirements forthermocouples used for measurement are somewhat differentfrom thermocouples used for control purposes (especially withautomatic feedback control systems). Of cours

35、e, both require-ments may be met with one set of thermocouples that isjudiciously chosen and placed.8.3.1 MeasurementThermocouples used for measurementare designed to represent the temperature of the specimenalong its reduced section.4Since only two or three thermo-couples are used, they shall be lo

36、cated at places on thespecimen that represent the average temperature of theirrespective sections. This can be determined by a test program,where more than the usual number of thermocouples aremounted along the reduced section to establish the temperatureprofile.8.3.2 ControlThermocouples used for c

37、ontrol are de-signed and placed to be sensitive to changes of or impendingchanges to the temperature of the specimen. Control thermo-couple wire should be as thin as possible. However, the wireshould not be so thin that oxidation or strain would cause emferrors or failure during the test period.NOTE

38、 2Locating a control thermocouple next to the heater as a meansto limit fluctuations of temperature is not advisable. A controller with awide proportional band and automatic reset is capable of compensating forthe thermal lag of most furnace designs.9. Thermocouples9.1 Basic InformationInformation o

39、n basic thermocouplecharacteristics and performance is available from ASTM pub-lications such as MNL-12.5Stability of the emf over the periodof test is the most crucial requirement for a control thermo-couple, whereas accuracy of the measurement thermocouple isparamount for successful correlation of

40、 test results.9.1.1 Factors affecting thermocouple selection are: atmo-sphere, temperature of exposure, duration of testing, andresponse time. These factors should be considered to determinetype (K, N, R, or S), wire size, insulation, and installationmethods.9.2 PrecautionsThe emf output of a thermo

41、couple isaffected by inhomogeneities in the region of a temperaturegradient. Inhomogeneities are produced by cold work, con-tamination, or metallurgical changes produced by temperatureitself. Therefore, thermocouples should be handled carefullywithout unnecessary stretching, bending, or twisting the

42、 wires.Bending around small radii should be avoided entirely, espe-cially where the wires may lie in a temperature gradient.Wherenecessary, a minimum amount of bending may be performedcarefully around bend radii at least 20 times the diameter of thewire.9.3 Types K and N Thermocouples:9.3.1 Suitabil

43、ityTypes K and N thermocouples are usefulfor creep and rupture testing because they provide a relativelyhigh emf and are relatively stable over the low and middletemperatures of the testing range.9.3.2 LimitationsConventional Type K, and to a lesserextent, Type N thermocouples undergo emf drift as t

44、he result ofmetallurgical changes during use. Therefore, that portion ofwire that has been exposed to temperatures above 500F(260C) or 1600F (870C) for Types K and N thermocouples,respectively, should be discarded after one use.9.3.3 AssessmentType K or N thermocouples should bereused only after the

45、ir suitability for a particular test programis proven by a body of test data. Stability tests are advised,using Type R or S thermocouples as references.9.4 Types R and S Thermocouples:9.4.1 SuitabilityTypes R and S are highly resistant tooxidation and are therefore stable for these tests at the high

46、ertemperatures of the range. They provide the highest reproduc-ibility and repeatability of the several thermocouple types butare initially more costly. Because they do not deteriorate duringnormal use, it is possible to reuse them. When Types R and Swires are no longer suitable for service, they st

47、ill retain asignificant portion of their initial cost in salvage value.9.4.2 LimitationsThe limiting factor for reuse of Type Ror S thermocouples is error introduced by strain or contami-nation. Wires of Types R and S are mechanically weaker thanTypes K and N, so they must be adequately supported to

48、 avoidstraining them. Sufficient slack should be provided so that thewires do not strain or tear when the specimen elongates.TABLE 1 Thermocouple and Extension Wire Tolerances andCalibration UncertaintiesThermocouples, FTypeTemperatureRangeToleranceTypicalCalibrationUncertaintyAStandardBSpecialK, N
