Resistance Compensator to Reduce Uncertainty in Determination of Movement of a Structural Member

NIST Inventors

Matthew Hoehler and Christopher Smith

The invention is a method of estimating thermal expansion in a "wire" (a long, thin, flexible element that may be metallic or nonmetallic) by measuring changes in its electrical resistance. In some materials, the electrical resistance and thermal expansion are both almost linearly dependent on the

Differential compensator to reduce uncertainty in determination of movement of a structural member

NIST Inventors

Matthew Hoehler and Christopher Smith

A new method has been developed for estimating the thermal expansion of a measurement cable (metallic wire or ceramic fiber thread) that is placed in a high temperature environment with an unknown temperature profile and connected to a moving target. This method is to deploy a second measurement
