Temperature Sensor Instrumentation Specification.docx
Mar 21, 2025, 10:08 PM UTC
The document outlines specifications for temperature sensors used in the PIPII cryomodule project, focusing on two types: PT103 Platinum RTDs and Cernox CX-1030-CU-HT,SD-HT RTDs. The PT103 sensors are designed for cryogenic operations, offering a temperature range of 14K to 873K, with a thermal response time of 1.75 seconds at 77K and an accuracy of ±10 mK at lower temperatures. Their construction utilizes platinum and alumina, ensuring non-magnetic properties and stability under radiation. Conversely, the Cernox RTDs operate from 0.1K to 420K with quicker response times and varying accuracy depending on the temperature, providing detailed specifications for operation at cryogenic levels. They have been calibrated individually and exhibit specific dissipation characteristics at designated excitations. Long-term stability is thorough, with reproach to previous thermal shocks. Overall, this document emphasizes stringent technical requirements for temperature sensors critical for cryogenic applications in research and energy sectors. It is essential for potential contractors or grant applicants to adhere to these specifications when submitting proposals or applications related to PIPII cryomodule instrumentation.
