Soal :
14.1 The output e.m.f. from a chromelalumel thermocouple (type K), with its reference junction
maintained at 0
o
C, is 12.207 mV. What is the measured temperature?

14.2 The output e.m.f. from a nicrosilnisil thermocouple (type N), with its reference junction
maintained at 0
o
C, is 4.21 mV. What is the measured temperature?

14.3 A platinum/10% rhodiumplatinum (type S) thermocouple is used to measure the
temperature of a furnace. The output e.m.f., with the reference junction maintained at 50
o
C, is
5.975 mV. What is the temperature of the furnace?

14.4 In a particular industrial situation, a nicrosilnisil thermocouple with nicrosilnisil
extension wires is used to measure the temperature of a fluid. In connecting up this measurement
system, the instrumentation engineer responsible has inadvertently interchanged the extension
wires from the thermocouple. The ends of the extension wires are held at a reference temperature
of 0
o
C and the output e.m.f. measured is 21.0mV. If the junction between the thermocouple and
extension wires is at a temperature of 50
o
C, what temperature of fluid is indicated and what is the
true fluid temperature?

14.5 A chromelconstantan thermocouple measuring the temperature of a fluid is connected by
mistake with copperconstantan extension leads (such that the two constantan wires are
connected together and the copper extension wire is connected to the chromel thermocouple
wire). If the fluid temperature was actually 250
o
C, and the junction between the thermocouple
and extension wires was at 80
o
C, what e.m.f. would be measured at the open ends of the
extension wires if the reference junction is maintained at 0
o
C? What fluid temperature would be
deduced from this (assuming that the connection mistake was not known about)? (Hint: apply the
law of intermediate metals for the thermocouple-extension lead junction.)

Jawaban :
(14.1) Termocouple Type K (Chromel-Alumel)
Nilai output = 12,207mV. Dari tabel termocouple, didapatkan
Nilai temperatur adalah = 300
o
C

(14.2) Termocouple Type N (Nicrosil-Nisil),
Nilai output = 4,21 mV. Tabel Termocouple:
T = 140
o
C V = 3,988 mV
T= 150
o
C V = 4,301

Dengan Interpolasi,

X = 147,09
Maka,
Nilai temperatur adalah = 147,09
o
C

(14.3) Karena reference junction tidak sama dengan 0
o
C, maka menggunakan hukum

= 6,274 mV
Maka,
Nilai temperatur adalah = 700

C

(14.4) Temperature of fluid that indicated:
e.m.f output = 21,0 mV
dari data, sesuaikan dengan thermocouple table:
Dengan menggunakan Interpolasi,

X = 610,025
Maka,
Temperature of fluid that indicated = 610,025

Maka,
V = 21,0 + 1,339 + 1,339
V = 23,678 mV
dari data, sesuaikan dengan tabel termocouple:
Interpolasi:

X = 678,40
Maka,
Nilai temperatur adalah = 678,40

(chromel-copper)80


By the law of intermediate metals:
E2=
e.m.f
(chromel-copper)80
= e.m.f
(chromel-constant)80
e.m.f
(copper-constant)80
= 4,983 mV 3,357 mV (dari thermocouples table)

E1=
e.m.f
(chromel-constant)250
= 17,178 mV

V = E1 E2 = 17,178 mV 1,626 mV
= 15,552 mV
Maka,
Nilai e.m.f yang terukur = 15,552 mV

Dari data V, sesuaikan dengan tabel termocouple:
Dengan Interpolasi:

X = 228,55
Maka,
Nilai temperatur adalah = 228,55
