Development of INL Ultrasonic Thermometer
- Idaho National Laboratory (INL), Idaho Falls, ID (United States)
This document summarizes the development at Idaho National Laboratory of an ultrasonic thermometer. The ultrasonic thermometer is a temperature sensor capable of multi-point measurements at very high temperatures with a high level of radiation tolerance. All of the components of the ultrasonic thermometer have been improved over the course of this work. The base technology, a magnetosrictive transducer, has been shown to be highly radiation tolerant. The solenoidal coil used in the transducer has been redesigned to operate at higher frequencies that previously possible. Materials used for the acoustic waveguide (the sensing portion of the device) have been tested and ideal candidates identified. Finally, a solution to the sticking issue (diffusion bonding between the waveguide and a protective sheath) has been developed and tested.
