The thermocouple 11 has an internal resistance r1 which changes due to deterioration, and through a conductor resistance r2 (total of two wires),
The terminals t11, t12, the changeover switches s11, s12, and the input lines L1, L2 are connected to the amplifying means 2 having a high input resistance RL. A low-resistance comparison resistor R is connected in series with the switch So between the input lines L1 and L2. The on / off of the switch So is controlled by the measuring means 3. The switch So can be omitted. Then, assuming that the thermoelectromotive force of the thermocouple 11 is Ei and the voltage of the comparative resistor R is Eo, the following formula is established. Since the input resistance RL of the amplification means 2 is large, it is omitted.

First, when the comparison resistor R is not connected, Eo = Ei (1), and when the comparison resistor R is connected and r1 = 0 in a normal state without deterioration, Eo = EiR / (r2 + R) (2) Since r1 is generated when deteriorated, Eo = Ei · R / (r1 + r2 + R) (3)

Since the voltages of the equations (2) and (3) become the output of the amplifying means 2, the deterioration of the thermocouple 11 can be detected by the measuring means 3 from the change of the output of the amplifying means 2. .

Referring to the output comparison explanatory view of FIG. 2, Ei = 1000 ° C. (or 100 after A-D conversion)
0 count may be considered), R = 1 KΩ, r1 = 10
Assuming that Ω and r2 = 10Ω, the output Eo = Ei = 1000 when the comparison resistor R is not connected, but when the comparison resistor R is connected, the output becomes 990.1 in a normal state and 980.4 in a deteriorated state. Therefore, based on this change and difference, the deterioration may be detected by comparing with a fixed value.

That is, it is sufficient to see that the output changes from 990.1 to 980.4 in the state where the switch So is not provided or the comparison resistor R which is always on is connected.
If you want to turn on and off, at output 1000,
It suffices to detect a point that should have been 990.1 but has changed to 980.4. For these, an appropriate deviation alarm set value is provided to notify deterioration.

Next, as can be seen from the equations (2) and (3), when the comparison resistor R is connected, correct measurement data cannot be obtained due to the influence of the conductor wire resistance r2. It is advisable to perform a scaling correction calculation to remove this effect. When the thermocouple is normal, the correction coefficient is set to B, and Eo = Ei. [R / (r2 + R)]. B = Ei. [R / (r2 + R)]. [(R2 + R) / R] = Ei (4) When the internal resistance r1 is generated due to deterioration, Eo = Ei. [R / (r1 + r2 + R)]. [(R2 + R / R)] (5). Since the voltages of the equations (4) and (5) become the output of the amplifying means 2, the measuring means 3 can detect the deterioration of the thermocouple from the change in the output.

Here, referring to the output comparison explanatory view of FIG. 2, in the case of scaling, even when the switch So is absent or the always-on comparison resistor R is connected, the wiring resistance r2 is not affected and the normal state is always 1000. It shows a value and becomes 990.2 at the time of deterioration, and the deterioration of the thermocouple can be detected more accurately by utilizing this change. The scaling correction may be calculated and used for the difference between the expressions (2) and (3).
