Determination of the Standard Resistor Temperature Coefficients and Their Uncertainties

Jurnal Standardisasi

SNSU TK-BSN’s capability in determining the temperature coefficients of a standard resistor has been improved. The temperature coefficient is one of the important parameter in determining the definition of the standard resistor. Currently, the measurement result has been reported together with the measurement uncertainty. The determination itself is based on a numerical approach of Taylor Series Approximation (TSA) instead of based on a fitting to a certain equation. And by this determination, the uncertainty was calculated. The determination was validated by comparing the measurement result committed by SNSU TK-BSN to that of by the manufacturer. The equation for the temperature coefficient follows the parabolic equation with an alpha coefficient of -5.30 x 10-8 Ω/Ω/°C and beta coefficient of -4.70 x 10-8 Ω/Ω/°C2, with the respective uncertainties of 2.4 x 10-8 Ω/Ω/°C and 1.6x 10-8 Ω/Ω/°C2, respectively. SNSU TK-BSN measurement results in determining the temperature coefficient in ...

A temperature variable high accuracy 10 kΩ resistor

A temperature variable high accuracy (TVHA) 10 k␣ resistor has been developed at National Institute of Metrological Research, (INRIM), in order to transfer the traceability to high accuracy multifunction instruments used in the accredited calibration laboratories. The TVHA consists of ten 100 k␣ nominal value resistors inserted in a copper block and connected in parallel configuration. The thermal stability of the copper block is obtained with a temperature controller. In this paper we reported details of the development of the TVHA and on its thermal behaviour. From preliminary results its relative short time stability (2h) resulted on the order of few parts of 10-8.

Temperature measurements by means of NTC resistors and a two-parameter approximation curve

Measurement, 2008

for resistance-versus-temperature (R-T) dependence of negative temperature coefficient resistors (NTCRs), which have resistance R N = 10,000 X at a temperature of 25°C and limits of error ±0.2°C in the range from 0°C to 70°C [Fenwal Electronics Catalog: Thermistoren UNI Kurve; Typ: UUA41J1, UUA41J8 (10 kX at 25°C, limits of error ±0.2°C in the range from 0°C to 70°C); BetaTHERM Sensors, http://www.betatherm.com; BetaCURVE Thermistor Series III 10K3A1W2 (10 kX at 25°C, limits of error ±0.2°C in the range from 0°C to 70°C), http://www.betatherm.com/datasheets/datasheet.php?p\_id=69#; Advanced Thermal Products, http://www.atpsensor.com/; coated chip thermistor A1004-C3 (10 kX at 25°C, limits of error ±0.2°C in the range from 0°C to 70°C), http://www.atpsensor.com/ntc/ntc\_rvt\_pdfs/rvt\_pdf.html; Epcos, http://www.epcos.com; uni-curve NTC thermistor S 863/10k/F40 (10 kX at 25°C, limits of error ±0.2°C in the range from 0°C to 70°C), http://www.epcos.com/inf/50/db/ntc\_02/ 00920093.pdf], are analysed. Determination of two approximation curves is described: a three-parameter one (abbreviated AC1) and a two-parameter one (AC2). These curves are compared with the three-parameter Steinhart-Hart equation (S&H) by using the table data of resistance for different NTCRs and calculating the following for all of them: unknown parameters by the least-squares method, approximated temperature using determined parameters, and the difference from the table data of temperature. The obtained results are presented, showing a very good agreement of curves, with their mutual differences within a few millikelvins, and the differences from the table data mostly within ±10 mK for the range from 0°C to 70°C (differences are larger only at a few points). Therefore, the presented two-parameter approximation curve AC2 can be very conveniently used with some NTCRs for the calculation of unknown temperature from the measured resistance.

Resistivity and thermopower measurement setups in the temperature range of 5-325 K

Review of Scientific Instruments, 2008

Automated precision measurement setups for electrical resistivity of eight metallic samples simultaneously and thermoelectric power of different types of samples in the temperature range of 5-325 K have been developed. The details of the setups and their capabilities have been described. Usually each run takes nearly 5 h and typical error is within 3% and 4%, respectively. The results of high purity Nb and Pt samples are used as examples to demonstrate this.

LTCC resistors and resistive temperature sensors - chosen electrical and stability properties

28th International Spring Seminar on Electronics Technology: Meeting the Challenges of Electronics Technology Progress, 2005., 2005

This paper presents the correlation between processing conditions and electrical (sheet resistance, resistance vs temperature dependence) and long-term stability (relative changes in resistance (∆R/R 0 ) as well as changes in the temperature coefficient of resistance (∆TCR) or thermistor constant (∆B)) properties of surface and buried LTCC resistors as well as NTC and PTC thermistors. All analyzed components (made from 100 ohm/sq. resistor ink and 1 kohm/sq. PTC or NTC thermistor inks) were fired at standard firing profile (850 o C/15 min, 875 o C/15 min) or overfired (950 o C/15 min, 950 o C/180 min).

A Research on Electronic Properties of Temperature Sensors Used in Engineering

BIALIG, 2019

Temperature is one of the most followed parameters in engineering. It needs to be monitored in many control processes. Some areas where temperature information is used; Food processing, heating and cooling systems, healthcare and production processes. For this purpose, many different methods have been developed to measure the temperature. In this study, the sensors used for temperature measurement will be examined. Parameters such as measuring the working conditions of these sensors, sensitivity of response times will be discussed. Some of the classical and commonly used thermistors (NTC, PTC), RTDs (PT100), thermocouples and semiconductor LM35, DS1820, and other electronic chips produced in recent years will be discussed and their different aspects will be emphasized. In this way, information about the choice of temperature perceptions that can be used in academic or commercial applications will be presented.

1 Ω and 10 Kω High Precision Transportable Setup to Calibrate Multifunction Electrical Instruments

Measurement, 2016

A temperature controlled 1 -10 kΩ standard Resistors transportable setup was developed at National Institute of Metrological Research, (INRIM) for the calibration and adjustment of multifunction electrical instruments. The two Standards consist respectively of two 10  and 100 k parallel connected resistors nets inserted in a temperature controlled aluminium box. Novelty of the realization is the oil insertion of the 1  net with its internal connectors lowering the thermo-electromotive forces (emfs) effects. Short and mid-term stabilities of the setup Standards resulted on the order and in some cases better than other top level 1  and 10 kΩ commercial Standards. The transport effect turning off the setup temperature control did not cause appreciable measurement deviations on the two Standards. The Standards uncertainties meet those requested by DMMs and MFCs manufacturers to calibrate and adjust these instruments. A test to adjust a multifunction calibrator gave satisfactory results.

18th International Congress of Metrology, 2017

A temperature controlled 10 V, 1: and 10 kȍ transportable setup has been developed at National Institute of Metrological Research (INRIM) for the calibration and adjustment of multifunction electrical instruments as digital multimeters (DMMs) and multifunction calibrators (MFCs) and for high level inter-comparisons. The Resistance Standards are made of two 10 ȍ and 100 kȍ resistors nets connected in parallel while the 10 V Standard is an ultra-low noise-drift based reference INRIM developed circuit. The project of the setup started from a previous realization revisiting it and adding a 10 V Standard. The resistors net of the 1 : is inserted in oil-bath along with the internal side of its connectors lowering the thermo-electromotive forces (emfs). The three Standards are further enclosed in a thermo-regulated copper enclosure and in an external aluminium case. The setup is also equipped with a high insulation switch to select the desired Standard. Preliminary results (3 h relative stabilities ranging from 5u10 8 to 7u10 8) and temperature coefficients are satisfactory to the scope of the realization.
