A number of materials contract on heating within certain temperature ranges; this is usually called negative thermal expansion, rather than "thermal contraction".For example, the coefficient of thermal expansion of water drops to zero as it is cooled to 3.983 °C (39.169 °F) and then becomes negative below this temperature; this means that water has a maximum density at this temperature, and ...
The platinum detecting wire needs to be kept free of contamination to remain stable. A platinum wire or film is supported on a former in such a way that it gets minimal differential expansion or other strains from its former, yet is reasonably resistant to vibration. RTD assemblies made from iron or copper are also used in some applications.
A temperature coefficient describes the relative change of a physical property that is associated with a given change in temperature. For a property R that changes when the temperature changes by dT , the temperature coefficient α is defined by the following equation:
Elastic properties describe the reversible deformation (elastic response) of a material to an applied stress.They are a subset of the material properties that provide a quantitative description of the characteristics of a material, like its strength.
In the table below are Seebeck coefficients at room temperature for some common, nonexotic materials, measured relative to platinum. [8] The Seebeck coefficient of platinum itself is approximately −5 μV/K at room temperature, [9] and so the values listed below should be compensated accordingly. For example, the Seebeck coefficients of Cu, Ag ...
Platinum is a chemical element; it has symbol Pt and atomic number 78. It is a dense, malleable, ductile, highly unreactive, precious, silverish-white transition metal. Its name originates from Spanish platina, a diminutive of plata "silver". [7] [8] Platinum is a member of the platinum group of elements and group 10 of the periodic table of ...
C is the coefficient of thermal expansion of the metal that forms the tape; L is the length of the tape or length of the line measured. is the observed temperature of the tape at the time of measurement; is the standard temperature, when the tape is at the correct length, often 20 °C;
