چکیده

We describe a digitally linearized thermistor thermometer that is accurate to +/- 0.01 degrees C from 0 to 60 degrees C at a wattage of 50 microW and a sampling time of 1 s. It is traceable to the International Practical Temperature Scale of 1968 (IPTS-68). Analog and digital outputs are provided, the latter as ASCII RS-232C. The thermistor is a 10-cm long immersible probe, 1.5 mm in diameter. Only 0.5 cm of the probe need be immersed, with proper heat sinking of at least 1 cm of the remaining 9.5 cm, for accurate readings. Error from self-heating of the thermistor is less than 5X 10(-3) degrees C at all power settings from 50 to 1 microW.

The succinonitrile triple-point standard: a fixed point to improve the accuracy of temperature measurements in the clinical laboratory.

In an investigation of the melting and freezing behavior of succinonitrile, the triple-point temperature was determined to be 58.0805 degrees C, with an estimated uncertainty of +/- 0.0015 degrees C relative to the International Practical Temperature Scale of 1968 (IPTS-68). The triple-point temperature of this material is evaluated as a temperature-fixed point, and some clinical laboratory app...

NBS/NIST Gas Thermometry From 0 to 660 °C

In the NBS/NIST Gas Thermometry program, constant-volume gas thermometers, a unique mercury manometer, and a highly accurate thermal expansion apparatus have been employed to evaluate temperatures on the Kelvin Thermodynamic Temperature Scale (KTTS) that correspond to particular temperatures on the 1968 International Practical Temperature Scale (IPTS-68). In this paper, we present a summary of ...

Accuracy of temperature measurement in the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit.

Oxygenator arterial outlet blood temperature is routinely measured in the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuit as a surrogate for the temperature of the arterial blood delivered to sensitive organs such as the brain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of the temperature thermistors used in the Terumo Capiox SX25 oxygenator and to compare the temperature measured at the outlet of...

A thermistor leaf thermometer.

An instrument is described which allows measurements of leaf temperature within about 0.3 C. It consists of a special thermistor probe, a small circuit box, and a standard ammeter. The circuit box can easily be fixed to the meter and contains a battery, which passes 0.3 milliampere through the thermistor, and also contains an integrated circuit amplifier, so that the meter reads 20 C full scale...
