Classification of transducers Transducer can be classified according to their application, based primarily on the physical quantity, property, or condition that is measured. The transducer can be categories into: A) Passive transducer: - requires an external power - output is a measure of some variation, such resistance and capacitance. E.g. : condenser microphone B) Self generating transducer: - not require an external power, and they produce analog voltage or current when stimulated by some physical form of energy. E.g. : Thermocouple Electronics & Instrumentation EO-102

Temperature Transducers Temperature transducers can be divided into four main categories: 1. Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTD) 2. Thermocouples 3. Thermistor
Electronics & Instrumentation EO-102
10
1) Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) Detectors of wire resistance temperature common employ platinum, nickel or resistance wire elements, whose resistance variation with temperature has high intrinsic accuracy. They are available in many configurations and size and as shielded or open units for both immersion and surface applications. The relationship between temperature and resistance of conductors can be calculated from the equation:
R R0 (1 T ) where R R0
α ΔT
= the resistance of the conductor at temperature t (0C) = the resistance at the reference temperature, usually 200C = the temperature coefficient of resistance = the difference between the operating and the reference temperature Electronics & Instrumentation EO-102
11
2) Thermocouple
It consists of two wires of different metals are joined together at one end, a temperature difference between this end and the other end of wires produces a voltage between the wires. The magnitude of this voltage depends on the materials used for the wires and the amount of temperature difference between the joined ends and the other ends.
Electronics & Instrumentation EO-102
12
Cont’d The emf of the thermocouple : E = c(T1 – T2) + k(T12 – T22) Where c and k T1 T2
= constant of the thermocouple materials = The temperature of the “hot” junction = The temperature of the “cold” or “reference” junction Electronics & Instrumentation EO-102
13
Thermocouples • Two dissimilar metals induce voltage difference (few mV per 10K) – electro-thermal or Seebeck effect
• Use op-amp to process/amplify the voltage • Absolute accuracy of 1K is difficult

3) Thermistor A thermistor is a semiconductor made by sintering mixtures of metallic oxide, such as oxides of manganese, nickel, cobalt, copper and uranium. Termistors have negative temperature coefficient (NTC). That is, their resistance decreases as their temperature rises. Types of thermistor Disc Washer Rod
Resistance 1 to 1MΩ 1 to 50kΩ high resistance

16
This figure shows resistance versus temperature for a family thermistor. The resistance value marked at the bottom end of each curve is a value at 250C Note! The resistance decreases as their temperature rises-NTC
Electronics & Instrumentation EO-102
17
Advantages of thermistor •
Small size and low cost
•
Fast response over narrow temperature range
•
Good sensitivity in Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) region
•
Cold junction compensation not required due to dependence of resistance on absolute temperature.
•
Contact and lead resistance problems not encountered due to large resistance Electronics & Instrumentation EO-102
18
Limitations of thermistor
• • • •
Non linearity in resistance vs temperature characteristics Unsuitable for wide temperature range Very low excitation current to avoids self heating Need of shielded power lines, filters, etc due to high resistance
Electronics & Instrumentation EO-102

Temperature Sensors • Bimetallic switch (electro-mechanical) – used in thermostats. Can be “creep” or “snap” action. Creep-action: coil or spiral that unwinds or coils with changing temperature
• Thermistors (thermally sensitive resistors); Platinum Resistance Thermometer (PRT), very high accuracy. Electronics & Instrumentation EO-102
20
Resistive Position Transducer The principle of the resistance transducer is that the physical variable under measurement causes a resistance change in the sensing element.
A common requirement in industrial measurement and control work is to be able to sense the position of an object or distance it has moved.

FIG 1 (a)
FIG 1 (b)
Figure shows the construction of a displacement transducer uses a resistance element with a sliding contact or wiper linked to the object being monitored. The resistance between the slider and one end of the resistance element depends on the position of the object. The output voltage depends on the wiper position and therefore is a function of the shaft position Electronics & Instrumentation EO-102
22
Consider Fig 1 (b), if the circuit is unloaded, the output voltage V 0 is a certain fraction of VT, depending on the position of the wiper:
V0 R2 VT R1 R2 This equation shows that the output voltage is directly proportional to the position of the wiper, if the resistance of the transducer is distributed uniformly along the length of travel of the wiper
EXAMPLE 1 A displacement transducer with a shaft stroke of 4 in. is used in the circuit of figure 1 (b). R1 +R2 is 1000 Ω and VT = 4 V. The wiper is 1.5 in from B. Find V0?

31
Inductive Transducer Inductive transducers may be either of the self generating or passive type. The self generating type utilises the basic electrical generator principle, i.e, a motion between a conductor and magnetic field induces a voltage in the conductor (generator action). This relative motion between the field and the conductor is supplied by changes in the measurand. An inductive electromechanical transducer is a device that converts physical motion (position change) into a change in inductance. Transducers of variable inductance type work upon one of the following principles: 1. Variation of self inductance 2. Variation of mutual inductance Electronics & Instrumentation EO-102
32
Cont.. Inductive transducers are mainly used for the measurement of displacement. The displacement to be measured is arranged to cause variation in any of three variables: 1. Number of turns 2. Geometric configuration 3. Permeability of the magnetic material or magnetic circuits
Electronics & Instrumentation EO-102
33
Positional Sensors: Inductive Proximity Switch • Detects the presence of metallic objects (non-contact) via changing inductance • Sensor has 4 main parts: field producing Oscillator via a Coil; Detection Circuit which detects change in the field; and Output Circuit generating a signal (NO or NC) Used in traffic lights (inductive loop buried under the road). Sense objects in dirty environment. Does not work for non-metallic objects. Omni-directional.

34
Strain Gauge The strain gauge is an example of a passive transducer that uses electric resistance variation in wires to sense the strain produced by a force on wires. It is a very versatile detector and transducer for measuring weight, pressure, mechanical force, or displacement. The construction of a bonded strain gauge (see figure) shows a fine wire element looped back and forth on a mounting plate, which is usually cemented to the member undergoing stress. A tensile stress tends to elongate the wire and thereby increase its length and decrease its cross-sectional area. Electronics & Instrumentation EO-102
35
The combined effect is an increase in resistance:
R Where,
L A
ρ: the specific resistance of the conductor material in ohm meters L : length of conductor (meters) A : area of conductor (m2) As consequence of strain, 2 physical qualities are particular interest: 1) The change in gauge resistance 2) The change in length The relationship between these two variables called gauge factor, K, is expressed mathematically as
Electronics & Instrumentation EO-102
36
R / R K L / L Where
K= the gauge factor R=the initial resistance in ohms (without strain) ∆R= the change in initial resistance in ohms L= the initial length in meters (without strain) ∆L=the change in initial length in meters ∆L/L same unit with G, therefore
R / R K G Electronics & Instrumentation EO-102
37
From Hooke theory, stress, S, is defined as internal force/area.
F S A Where S= the stress in kilograms per square meter F= the force in kilograms A= area in square meters Then the modulus of elasticity of material E or called Young’s modulus (Hooke’s Law) is written as:
S E G
Where, E= Young modules in kg per square meter S= the stress in kilograms per square meter G= the strain (no units)

Metallic strain gauge – formed from thin resistance wire or etched from thin sheets of metal foil. Wire gauge (small) – to minimum leakage – for high T applications Semiconductor strain gauge – high output transducers as load cells Strain gauge is generally used as one arm of bridge

Positional Sensors: LVDT Linear Variable Differential Transformer
Electronics & Instrumentation EO-102
40
LINEAR VARIABLE DIFFERENTIAL TRANSFORMER (LVDT) It consists basically of a primary winding and two secondary windings, wound over a hollow tube and positioned so the primary winding is between two secondaries. In figure shows the construction of the LVDT.
An iron core slides within the tube and therefore affects the magnet coupling between the primary and the two secondaries. When the core is in the centre, voltage induced in the two secondaries is equal. When the core is moved in one direction from centre, the voltage induced in one winding is increased and that in the other is decreased. Movement in the opposite direction reverses this effect Electronics & Instrumentation EO-102

The Curie point is about 130°C. Above 130°C, a nonpiezoelectric cubic phase is stable, where the center of positive charge (Ba2+ and Ti4+) coincides with the center of the negative charge (O2–) (Figure a). When cooled below the Curie point, a tetragonal structure (shown in Figure b) develops where the center of positive charge is displaced relative to the O2–ions, leading to the formation of electric dipoles.
