A PORTABLE TEMPERATURE INDICATOR

Abstract

A battery-powered direct-reading temperature indicator for use in sea water to a depth of 200 feet has been developed. Range is from 0 to 32 C; indication is a four-digit display which can be read directly to ! 0.15 C, or to ! 0.02 C from a correction curve. Temperature is sensed by a glass-cased thermistor on a 200-foot length of cable; resistance of the thermistor is determined by a manually balanced Wheatstone bridge. (Author)
