A new method for determining the temperature calibration function for a high-temperature X-ray diffraction stage is described. This method utilizes the relative thermal expansion of two diffraction peaks, either for peaks from a mixture of phases, or from a single phase that has anisotropic thermal expansion. A calibration function is derived from data at many temperatures and collected over a ...

This paper describes a new signal-conditioning technique for measuring strain and temperature which uses fewer connecting wires than conventional techniques. Simultaneous measurement of temperature and strain has been achieved by using thermocouple wire to connect strain gages to signal conditioning. This signal conditioning uses a new method for demultiplexing sampled analog signals and the An...

In the present paper, we studied the stationary and dynamic characteristics of a thermocouple (Cu-Constantan) [1, 2, 3] in the case of natural convection of air or liquid nitrogen. The outcome of this work was to highlight two thermoelectric effects: the Seebeck and Peltier effects. We find that the majority of the theoretical characteristics of the thermocouple (distribution of the temperature...

The growing use of Ethernet interfaces in Aerospace and Industrial Process applications has created a need for an Intelligent Thermocouple Scanner to operate on an Ethernet network and complement Intelligent Pressure Scanners. The scanner must be able to accept several different thermocouple inputs, convert the signals to engineering units using NIST tables and output the data over a TCP/IP Eth...
