The Detection of Short Circuits in Thermocouples by a Radio-Frequency Measurement of Inductance

Description: Abstract: "The development of a portable battery-operated instrument capable of detecting a short-circuit four or more inches from the hot junction of a five-foot-long thermocouple is described. The accuracy of measurement is inversely proportional to the length of the thermocouple and is not affected by changes in thermocouple temperature. A signal having a wave length much greater than the electrical length of the thermocouple is used to measure thermocouple inductance. The instrument consist… more
