Relation Between Wire Resistance and Fluid Pressure in the Transient Hot-Wire Method

The resistance of metals is a function of applied pressure, and this dependence is large enough to be significant in the calibration of transient hot-wire thermal conductivity instruments. We recommend that for the highest possible accuracy, the instrument’s hot wires should be calibrated in situ. I...

Sumario:The resistance of metals is a function of applied pressure, and this dependence is large enough to be significant in the calibration of transient hot-wire thermal conductivity instruments. We recommend that for the highest possible accuracy, the instrument’s hot wires should be calibrated in situ. If this is not possible, we recommend that a value of γ, the relative resistance change with pressure, of −2×10(−5) MPa(−1) be used to account for the pressure dependence of the platinum wire’s resistance.
