  Physics
During my tests I will experiment with the length of constantan to see the most suitable lengths, since some lengths may be too long that they resist so much current that the wire burns, or the length of the wire is so small that it doesn't resist any current at all.
The thermometer which was used to measure the temperature of the water never made contact with the constantan wire meaning it was always measuring the temperature of the water and the not the piece of wire which made it a fair test.
The size of the crocodile clips which were used to hold the lengths of constantan wire were a bit too large which meant they caused trouble by making contact with the constantan wire, especially with the long lengths, resulting in a unusually high temperature rise.

 Strain Gage: Sensitivity
Constantan (Advance, Copel alloy) is the oldest and most widely used strain gage materials.
The resistance of Constantan drifts continuously when the temperature raises above 65 ºC (150 ºF), which may become troublesome for strain measurements over a long period of time or in high temperature.
Constantan and Karma alloy are two most common gage wire material which have self-compensation property.

 Constantan Alloy: Strain Gage Selection
It must be noted, however, that constantan tends to exhibit a continuous drift at temperatures above +150 deg F (+65 deg C); and this characteristic should be taken into account when zero stability of the strain gage is critical over a period of hours or days.
Very importantly, constantan can be processed for self-temperature compensation to match a wide range of test material expansion coefficients.
Constantan in this form is very ductile; and, in gage lengths of 0.125 in (3 mm) and longer, can be strained to >20%.

 Chapter 1
Constantan is an alloy of copper and nickel with a typical composition Cu57Ni43 plus the addition of small percentages of Mn and Fe.
The constantan used with the type J thermocouple cannot be used with the type T thermocouple because of different voltage requirements.
The limits of error of the type T thermocouple are totally dependent upon the degree of reproducibility of constantan from melt to melt.

 Thin-film strain gauge - Patent 4522067
It is furthermore known to fabricate the resistance elements from a material or combination of materials such that the electric resistor has a low temperature coefficient, so that errors in measurement caused by temperature fluctuations are prevented; temperature fluctuations are perceived in the same manner as deflections of the element.
The track segments comprise constantan doped with nitrogen and/or air, which in this manner is given a temperature coefficient which is approximately equal to the temperature coefficient of the resistance layer.
While pure constantan has a temperature coefficient of approximately 10 ppm/.degree.K., the constantan sputtered with 1% nitrogen in the discharge gas, for instance, has a temperature coefficient of -80 ppm/.degree.K., which corresponds to the temperature coefficient of the tantalum nitride layer for the resistors which has been formed by sputtering using this discharge composition.
