Temperature detection instrument common fault handling method

Temperature detection instrument common fault handling method

Commonly used in the industry temperature detection instrument is divided into two categories: non-contact temperature measurement instruments (such as: radiation, infrared). Contact thermometers (such as: expansion, pressure, thermocouple, thermal resistance).
Since industrial thermal resistors and industrial thermocouples are used widely and are mostly used in automatic interlocking control systems, the following describes common fault handling methods for temperature detection instruments in use.
First, industrial thermal resistance
Industrial thermal resistance is based on the characteristic that the resistance value of the metal increases as the temperature increases. The most commonly used are made of platinum and copper, the graduation number is Pt100, Pt10, Pt50 (temperature range -200 ~ 850 °C), Cu50, Cu100 (temperature range -50 ~ 150 °C).

Industrial thermal resistance temperature measurement system is generally composed of industrial thermal resistance, connecting wires and display instruments. The index number of the industrial thermal resistance and the display instrument must be the same. To eliminate the influence of the resistance change of the connecting wire on the temperature measurement, a three-wire connection must be used.

Common faults of industrial thermal resistors and their handling methods:

The common fault of industrial thermal resistance is the open circuit and short circuit of the industrial thermal resistance. General disconnection is more common because of the finer thermal resistance wires. Open circuit and short circuit are easy to judge, you can use the multimeter's "×1Ω" file. If the measured resistance is less than R0, there may be a short circuit; if the multimeter indicates infinity, you can determine that the resistor is disconnected. Resistor short-circuit is generally easier to handle, as long as it does not affect the length and thickness of the resistance wire, find the short-circuited place to dry and strengthen the insulation. Resistor body circuit repair must change the length of the resistance wire and affect the resistance value. For this reason, it is better to replace the new resistor body. If soldering repair is used, it must be verified after passing the welding. Thermal resistance temperature measurement system in the operation of common faults and treatment methods are as follows:

Fault phenomenon

Possible Causes

Approach

Display instrument indicator is lower than actual value or unstable

The protection tube has metal chips, dust, dirt between the terminals and a short circuit of the thermal resistance (water accumulation, etc.)

Remove metal chips, clean dust, water droplets, etc., find short-circuit points, strengthen insulation, etc.

Display meter indicates infinity

Industrial thermal resistance or lead wire breaks and terminal looses

Replace resistor body, or weld and tighten terminal screws, etc.

Display meter indicates negative value

Display instrument and thermal resistance wiring is wrong, or thermal resistance has short circuit

Correct the wiring, or find the short circuit, strengthen the insulation

Changes in resistance and temperature

Thermal resistance wire material is subject to corrosion deterioration

Replace the resistor (thermal resistance)

First, industrial thermocouple

Industrial thermocouples weld conductors or semiconductors A and B of two different materials together to form a closed loop. When there is a temperature difference between two welding points 1 and 2 of conductors A and B, a thermoelectric potential is generated between the two. Therefore, a certain amount of current is formed in the loop, and this phenomenon is called thermoelectric effect. Industrial thermocouples work by using this principle.
