Transient Adjustments for Metal-Sheathed Thermocouples on Metal Plates (Shrouds)
- Sandia National Laboratories (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
This report provides guidance on how to adjust temperature measurements from mineral-insulated, metal-sheathed (MIMS) thermocouples (TCs) mounted on metal plates to correct for slow transient response. This information is needed so that more accurate transient temperature measurements can be made. These more accurate temperature measurements are of benefit for both qualification of hardware and as data sets for model validation. The approach was to use a relatively simple first order adjustment to the MIMS TC reading, as compared to a more accurate metal plate temperature measurement. MIMS TCs are used to improve reliability. Results from four data sets were analyzed to determine the time constraint; an overall average of 5.0 s was obtained.
