36、DARDSAppendix C - ThermocoupleInstallation GuidelinesThe proper location, construction and installationof the temperature sensing equipment is critical toobtaining accurate and representative results fromthe test. Misleading data and/or significant errors canresult from misplaced installation points

37、, improperlyformed thermocouple junctions, unsecured junctionmounting, damaged lead wires and other tempera-ture circuit problems. The information below is meantonly to call attention to some of the important factorswhich shall be considered in obtaining the test data.C.1 Measurement Location. In ca

38、ses where theprecise location at which the temperature shall besensed is not defined, tests may be needed to deter-mine the best measurement point. Infrared sensinginstruments (either discrete point or full field) or atemperature sensitive coating can be used to moreclearly define the appropriate in

39、stallation point. Inareas which are difficult to define, the thermocoupleshall be placed on a particular component at the pointwhich is nearest the heat source.Following facts / effects shall be taken into account:direct / reflected radiation, different surface orienta-tions, emissivities, heat cond

40、uctions, air flow, veloc-ity and direction of aur flow, thermal inertia of compo-nents, temperature limits etc.C.2 Junction Formation. The thermocouple effectis obtained by the junction of two dissimilar metals inthe temperature environment in question. The junc-tion is formed at the first electrica

41、l contact betweenthe two arms. The recommended method for mostapplications is inert-gas welding. The junction mayalso be formed by welding the wires ends in a dis-tance of (3.5) mm onto a metallic component. In anyevent,thejunctionshallprovidelowresistanceand bedurable. At some locations where tempe

42、ratures canchange quite rapidly, the mass of the junction shall bekept as small as possible to minimize response time.Where surface temperature shall be measured, thethermocoupleshall be inintimatecontact with the sur-face. Tominimizeradiantheaterrors, theemissivityoftheoutersurfaceofthejunctionshal

43、lapproximatethatofthe surroundingpart. Care shallbe takennot tosig-nificantly alter the insulation characteristics betweenthe junction or the component and the surrounding airby routing the thermocouple wires in an area of (moreor less) uniform temperature. The necessary lengthof this TC part - from

44、 the measuring spot - dependsupon thespecific localtemperaturegradients, the sur-rounding air temperature etc. (e.g. 40mmfora0.5 mm thermocouple).C.3 LeadWire. Careshallbetakentoassurethatthethermocouple lead wire is homogeneous and undam-aged. Significant errors can result from including sec-tions

45、which have been damaged or are not uniform inan unevenly heated environment. Cold workingofthewire during installation and use can result in notice-ableerrors. Thisis particularlytrue oftype-K (chromel- alumel) wire. Minimizing wire diameter will reducecold working effects. Stranded lead shall be co

46、nsid-ered where durability is a factor. Connectors in thecircuit can be of any convenient design if they are ina region of uniform temperature. Proper type designconnectors will be needed in regions of high thermalgradients. Copyright 2008 General Motors Corporation All Rights ReservedPage 12 of 12 September 2008PRD045 - VPRE ST G 10/03
