    Thermocouple basics

    I was reading documents on Omega's web site and came across this statement: Temperature changes in the wiring between the input and output ends do not affect the output voltage, provided that the wiring is of thermocouple alloy or a thermoelectric equivalent (Figure 1a). For example, if a...

    Thermocouple accuracies

    I've gotten a lot of feedback to use RTDs. However, with my application I can not use them. The instrument needs to be at the tip of the probe.

    Thermocouple accuracies

    Thanks for the inputs. You have backed up what I have been reading and researching about T/Cs. I am not trying to control the temperature of a process. Instead, I'm trying to measure the temperature of a dewpoint. (Dewpoint Thermocouple) We are trying to develop a high temperature 200 - 400...

    Thermocouple accuracies

    Can anyone point me to information about thermocouple system accuracy calculations? In particular, there are many sources of error such as cold junction compensation, TC errors, data acquisition errors, (are there errors associated with the TC wire itself?). I'd like to also find information...
