열전대(thermocouple)를 이용한 Buchanan Plugger 표면의 온도상승 분석 = ANALYSIS OF TEMPERATURE RISE ON THE SURFACE OF BUCHANAN PLUGGER USING THERMOCOUPLE

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study was performed to evaluate the actual temperature rise on the surface of Buchanan plugger using thermocouple. The heat carrier system 'System B Heatsource'(Model 1005, Analytic Technologies, Redmond, WA, USA) and the Buchanan pluggers of F, FM, M and ML sizes are used for this study. The temperature was set to 200℃ on digital display and the power level on it was set to 10. Five thermocouples were placed in direct contact with the surface of each size of Buchanan's pluggers at 1 mm increments from the tip to the 4 mm length of shank. The heat control spring was touched for 5 seconds, and temperature rise on the surface of the pluggers were measured at 1 sec intervals for more than 5 seconds with an accuracy of 0.01 using Data Logger.
The data were statistically analyzed by one-way ANOVA.
The results were as follows.
1. The position at which the temperature peaked was approximately at 1~2 mm far from the tip of Buchanan plugger (p<0.01).
2. The peak temperature was 215.25±2.28℃ in F plugger, 185.94±2.19℃ in FM plugger, 169.51±9.12℃ in M plugger, and 160.79±1.27℃ in ML plugger and the peak temperature was highest in F plugger and followed by, in descending order, FM plugger, M plugger. ML plugger showed the lowest peak temperature (p<0.01).
3. The temperature on the pluggers was decreased with the increase of touching time.
This results suggest that the actual temperature on the surface of the pluggers dose not correlate well with the temperature set on digital display. Heat concentrates around the up. The larger plugger reveals lower temperature rise relatively.
