H2 Thermistor Overview

BAPI Sensor Specifications

Rev. 01/06/14

Thermistor Description
BAPI Thermistors are thermally sensitive
resistors known for exhibiting a large change in
resistance with only a small change in temperature.
It is important to note that a thermistors change in
resistance is non-linear. It follows a
pre-defined curve which is provided by the thermistor manufacturer. An example of a thermistor
output curve can be seen in Figure 1.
Thermistors are manufactured to follow a specific
curve with a high degree of accuracy. All BAPI
thermistors have a standard accuracy of 0.2 C
throughout the commercial temperature range of
0 to 70 C. BAPI also has available a higher accuracy sensor for meeting tougher specs. The extra
precision [XP] line has an initial accuracy of 0.1 C throughout the commercial temperature range
of 0 to 70 C. Please call for availability and pricing on [XP] line thermistors. Both accuracy levels allow BAPI thermistors to be interchanged without the extra expense of offsetting the controller.
* All Passive Thermistors 10K and smaller are CE compliant.

Thermistor Specifications
DEFINITION OF SPECIFICATION TERMS
Interchangeability Tolerance (Accuracy):
The maximum amount that thermistors following
the same curve will differ from each other.
Dissipation Constant:
The power needed to raise the thermistors
body temperature by 1C. At the heart of all
BAPI thermistor products is a sensor with a 2.7
mW/C dissipation constant to ensure that selfheating stays at an absolute minimum.
Stability (drift):
The amount that the resistance characteristics
of a thermistor will change. BAPI uses only the
highest quality, pre-aged thermistors with very
small drift values. Over a ten year span, BAPI
thermistors will not change more than 0.1C.
Operating Range:
The operating range shown is for the thermistor only. The mounting package may further
limit the operating range and is described on
each mounting type specification. The thermal
time constant will also be affected based on the
added mass of the stainless steel probe and
moisture protection encapsulation.
Thermal Time Constant
Bare sensors are typically measured and specified
in still air and are timed at the statistical 63.2% of
the step temperature change. A stirred liquid test
will typically result in a much faster response time
and is also timed at 63.2% of the step temperature
change. The time constant is always the same
whatever the temperature step change may be.

Thermistor Specifications
Interchangeability Tolerance (Accuracy):
Standard Sensor: 0.2 C (0 to 70 C)
Wide Range Standard: 0.4 C (-55 to 150 C)
High Accuracy [XP] Sensor: 0.1 C (0 to 70 C)
Wide Range High Accuracy: 0.2 C (-55 to 150 C)
Dissipation Constant: 2.7 mW/C
Stability (drift): Less than 0.02 C / year
Themal Time Constant: 5 seconds (bead in still air)

.5 seconds (stirred liquid)
