S. Johnston, B.s~.,A.R.C.S. Rosemount Engineering Company Limited, Bognor Regis The modern platinum resistance thermometer provides the most accurate and versatile method of industrial temperature measurement and control. This article gives details of a new design of platinum resistance thermo- meter element of small dimensions and good stability. It also describes a range of complete thermometers based on these elements together with a resistance-bridge system used for signal conditioning when the thermo- meters are used in data-logging or computer controlled systems. Two principal factors have contributed to a thermometer confers the advantages of better recent large increase in the use of platinum reproducibility and larger output signal resistance thermometers in industry. On the coupled with the ability to scale the output one hand new techniques of manufxture to fit the requirements of the instrumentation. have produced thermometers that are smaller and more robust than was possible in the Thermometer Designs past so that it becomes feasible to specify Modern methods of refining platinum resistance thermometers for applications have put materials of extreme and dependable which have hitherto been the province of the purity at the disposal of the manufacturer of thermocouple. On the other hand the con- resistance thermometers in a wide range of tinual striving after improved accuracy of wire diameters down to 0.0004 inch or even measurement and control has received an smaller. These small diameters were often, in additional impetus with the introduction of the past, associated with high impurity central data-logging and computing equip- content as a result of material picked up from ment.

This support is the more necessary in engines may have the platinum encapsulated that pure annealed platinum is extremely over the whole length. Many compromise con- soft and hence mechanically weak.

That on the right has a sensitive portion mrresponding in length to the threaded part of the thermometer firmly attached to withstand the levels of vibration normally en- countered in industrial processes. The fact that part of the coil is en- capsulated necessarily means that there is some reduction in tempera- ture coefficient and degradation in stability as compared with the proposed; for example in some aircraft unsupported platinum wire. It might be thermometers the platinum coil is wound on somewhat naive to suppose that the charac- an insulated platinum tube to avoid differen- teristics should fall roughly one-sixth of the tial expansion effects (an example of this is way between those of the unsupported and shown in Fig. I), but the construction des- the fully encapsulated thermometer, but the cribed below (I) has proved extrcrnely value obtained for a) the mean temperature useful and versatile in a very wide range of coefficient between oo and IOO~C,of 0.003916 industrial applications. is in approximately this relationship with the The main features of the construction may typical figures of 0.003925 for unsupported be appreciated from Fig. 3.

Fig. 5 shows on the Fig. 6 Two platinum resist- ance thermometers, for use in medical and pathological work, lased on the standard range of hypodermic needles Platinum Metals Rev., 1966, 10, (2), 45 The basic principle is that the leads in- corporated in the bridge arms are in series with fixed resistors having values very large compared to the lead resistances so that moderate changes in lead resistance have negligible effects on the total series resistance value. Thus N and J are large compared with L, and L, respectively, and L, is in the output circuit in series with the recordcr or indicator, which has a large input irn- pedance. The bridge is designed so that very little current flows through L, when lead resistances are at the design values and, when lead resistances vary, L, tends to equalise the voltage across the top of the bridge. This configuration makes it feasible to locate the sensor several thousand feet from the bridge and recorder or indicator. A particularly versatile conditioning unit of this type is shown in Fig. 8; this is a IO- channel bridge chassis to which the resistance thermometers are connected and which can precision laboratory measurements become accept up to ten plug-in Kelvin double necessary.

  • Preliminary Results for the Year Ended 31St March 2021 Robust Performance and Growth Opportunities Driven by Sustainable Solutions
    News Release th Thursday 27 May 2021, 7.00 am Preliminary results for the year ended 31st March 2021 Robust performance and growth opportunities driven by sustainable solutions Robert MacLeod, Chief Executive, commented: Our employees have done a tremendous job adapting to new ways of working through COVID-19, whilst still delivering for our customers. It is thanks to their hard work that we have delivered a robust set of results which, in the context of a pandemic, is especially pleasing and testament to their efforts. Following a challenging first half, we recovered strongly in the second half helped by a strong recovery in our end markets and higher precious metal prices. We are delivering our efficiency programme, tightly managing working capital and generating cash from our more established businesses which we are continuing to invest for growth, particularly in battery materials and hydrogen. In the year we made good strategic progress. We began entering into partnerships to advance the commercialisation of eLNO and secured new customer wins in Fuel Cells. Our investment in sustainable technologies builds on our existing expertise and will enable the transformations in transport, energy, decarbonisation of industry and a circular economy that the world needs to reach net zero – transformations that are at the heart of achieving our vision of a cleaner, healthier world for today and future generations. It is in this context that we’ve launched our new sustainability goals which will result in Johnson Matthey being a net zero business by 2040. Our sustainability agenda relates not only to the way we run our own business, but underpins our strategic focus on the current and future technologies we sell to our customers.
