    The document outlines a procedure to calculate the time constant of a bimetal thermometer. It involves heating water to 70-80°C, inserting the thermometer at intervals, and recording the thermometer readings until it reaches a steady state temperature. The readings are then plotted on a graph with temperature on the y-axis and time on the x-axis. The time required for the thermometer to reach 63.2% of the full temperature change is noted, which is defined as the time constant of the thermometer.

    TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT

    AIM: To calculate the time constant of a bimetal thermometer. APPARATUS: Bimetal Thermometer Ice bath

    PROCEDURE: Heat the water in hot water bath to @70-80C. set the beeper for beep interval of @2sec. (Count number of beeps in 1min. for Adjustment of beeper). Note the reading in the thermometer. Insert the thermometer in hot bath at any beeping instant. The thermometer reading suddenly starts rising due to step change. Note the readings at every beep till temperature goes to steady state. Repeat the procedure for different bath temperature.

    TABULATIONS:
    READING NO. 0 1 2
    UPTO STEADY STATE

    TIME IN SEC 0 T*1 T*2

    OBSERVED TEMP

    Sample calculations & results:


    Plot the graph of observed temperature versus Time in seconds. Mark the temperature of 63.2% of step change value on the graph. Note the time required for 63.2% step change. This is the time constant of Thermometer. (63.2% of step change value = 0.632 x (final temp Initial temp) + Initial temp.)

    RESULT:
    Thus the time constant of the bimetallic thermometer was found.
