Temperature measurements in G-Tunnel
Creators
Description
The purpose of the heater test is twofold: to test measurement and instrumentation methods and to study the hydrological response of the medium around the heater. The primary purpose of measuring temperature in this test is to understand the thermal response of the medium around the heater. Temperature is one of the primary variables measured in such a test. Temperature measurement techniques have been well established. Thermocouples are usually very reliable. However, the installation of thermocouples requires further investigation. The thermocouples can be either grouted in a borehole or installed in a retrievable configuration. The effect of these installation techniques on the accuracy of the temperature measurements will be investigated in this test. In this chapter, the calibration and installation of thermocouples are discussed. Some results of the temperature measurements (up to November 1, 1988) are presented. The thermocouples used in this test were previously used in the Climax Spent Fuel Test
