Calibration of The Temperature Indicator

This document describes procedures for calibrating various temperature measurement devices including RTDs, thermocouples, temperature indicators, and transmitters. It involves placing an RTD in an oil bath and varying the temperature to record resistance values, connecting a thermocouple to measure voltages at different temperatures, using a resistance box to simulate an RTD for calibrating an indicator, and adjusting current and voltage outputs of an I-V converter and transmitter to determine errors and accuracies. The goal is to calibrate these devices and compare measured values to standards to calculate calibration errors and accuracies.

SPECIFICATIONS
Sensor-PT100
Temperature range= -50c to 200c
I-V CONVERTER

PROCEDURE
CALIBRATION OF RTD:
a) RTD -PT100 is placed inside the oil bath.
b) Oil bath is first set to a particular temperature using set temperature
control.
c) Resistance of RTD at that temperature is noted from meter.
d) Temperature is varied in steps and their corresponding resistance is
noted.
e) Measured resistance is compared with standard resistance at particular
temperature and their errors are calculated.

CALIBRATION OF TEMPERATURE INDICATOR:


a) A resistance box is simulated as a RTD and it is connected to
temperature indicator.
b) From the table, the standard resistance for each temperature within the
range.
c) The particular standard resistance is set in resistance box and
corresponding temperature indicator is noted.
d) This procedure is repeated for various temperatures and indicator value
is noted.
e) Thus the measured value is compared with the standard value and error
is noted.

CALIBRATION OF I-V CONVERTER:


a) First zero adjustment is done for 4ma to I-V converter, the output
should be 0v.
b) If for 4ma, the output is 0v, then there is no 0 error or else the input is
adjusted until we get the correct value.
c) After 0 adjustments, span adjustment is done for 20ma, the output
should be 10v.
d) If the output is not 10v, adjustment is made until we get the correct
output.
e) For 4ma-20ma, current is incremented in steps and corresponding
voltages are noted down.
