#143446 - Error Budget
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Oliver Sedlacek said:
You have to put some power in to a thermistor to make a measurement! That power will cause some self heating, so the most important question is "how much self heating can I tolerate".

Please answer the following questions.

1. What temperature error can you tolerate?

2. What power generates this temperature rise. This depends strongly on what the thermistor is attached to. If it's in an oil bath, the value will be quite high, if it's in free air it will be quite low.

3. Does measurement need to be continuous, or can I turn the power off between measurements.

4. Will the measurement be calibrated in some way that removes fixed offsets.



Ans1: +/- 0.1 Degree Celsius
Ans2:The thermistoer is in Contact of solid aluminum block
Ans3: yes , Continous measurement
Ans4: Please suggest me the best option
