AN Examination of the Temperature Measuring Accuracy of a Flowmeter System Used with Balloon-Borne Atmospheric Samplers.

Abstract

This report examines the temperature accuracy of a flowmeter system in two modes. Each mode is defined by the type of thermistor and its monitoring circuit. Laboratory data and flight data gathered at 15.2 to 27.4 km (50 to 90 k ft) are compared to the calculated error envelope. Agreement between the predicted and actual performance is excellent.
