Abstract

In surface temperature measurement by thermocouple, measurement error was quantitatively investigated when the temperature measuring junction was adhered to the surface and a part of the lead wire was placed on the isothermal surface. In this paper, heat paths of a thermocouple were modeled by thermal-resistance-network. Unknown parameters related to the contact between the thermocouple and the surface were estimated based on the measured data. The error ratio calculated by the thermalresistance-network model agreed well to the experimental data both quantitatively and qualitatively, which indicates the validity of this model.
