guys please tell me about platinum resistance thermometer
Answers
The platinum thermal resistance (PTR) uses platinum for determining the temperature. It works on the principle that the resistance of platinum changes with the change of temperature. The thermometer measures the temperature over the range of 200°C to1200°C
.The resistance of platinum increases linearly with the temperature, and this property of the metal is used for measuring the temperature. The resistance of the platinum is measured by passing the alternating or direct current through it. Because of the current, the voltage induces across the metal which measures through the voltmeter. The reading of voltage is converted into the temperature with the help of the calibration equation.
The figure below shows the platinum resistance thermometer. The platinum sensing coil is enclosed inside a bulb which is either made of glass or Pyrex. The insulator deposit on the surface of the glass tube is also used for sensing the temperature.

The Ebonite cap is placed at the open end of the tube. The terminals of the copper wire are joined together with the help of the thick copper lead. The other end of the copper leads are joined to the terminal AB fitted in the Ebonite cap. For reducing the effect of copper wire resistance on the thermometer, the two similar copper wires are connected to the upper-end terminals called CD. These wires are called the compensating lead.
The industrial type thermometer is shown in the figure below. The platinum wire is protected by the stainless steel tube or by the glass coating. Glass or ceramic seal the sensing element. The sealing has two advantages. They provide the strength to the thermometer and protects the sensing element against the chemical reaction.
Answer:
Plants inherit traits from their parent plants. Some common inherited characteristics are flower color, flower position, seed color, seed shape, seed pod shape, pod color, leaf pattern, and stem length.
