Summary

THE THERMAL RELAXATION TIME CONSTANT OF SEVERAL ALLEN BRADLEY-TYPE RESISTORS USED IN LOW TEMPERATURE THERMOMETRY ARE REPORTED. THERMAL DIFFUSION WITHIN THE CARBON COMPOSITE CONTROLS THIS CHARACTERISTIC TIME AND IT IS INDEPENDENT OF SURFACE HEAT TRANSFER. A FORMULATION SHOWS THAT THE PROPER FUNCTIONAL FORM AND MAGNITUDE ARE PREDICTABLE. IT IS MOST PROBABLE THAT THESE RESULTS CAN BE USED TO ESTIMATE THE TIME CONSTANT FOR RESISTORS OF OTHER DIMENSIONS.
