Hi,
I need to measure the temperature of water flowing inside a 15mm coper pipe.
The pipe is a mains pressure water pipe (like the one that supplies water to your sink).
I cant simply insert a temperature sensor into the pipe because i cannot get the wires back out. Once the tap is turned off, the hole in pipe will e pressurized and probably leak!
Can anyone think of a way of doing this? I thought about measuring the copper temperature, but i dont think the copper will heat/cool quick enough to give accurate results.
I have a flow sensor in the pipe and basicly i need to know the temperature of the dispenced water, at 1 second intervals, accurate to 1°C
The maximum pressure in the pipe is 4bar.
