CALIBRATION AND CERTIFICATION

All insulated and bare thermocouple and extension wire is selected to meet standard initial calibration toler-

ances for temperatures above 32°F (0°C) as given in ANSI MC.96.1 and as shown below.However, these limits does not include system or installation error.

Wire conforming to special limits calibration tolerance, or for below 32°F (0°C), and wire with certifiedtraceable calibrations, is available on request, at an extra charge.

Calibration procedures as per

• ASTM E220

• ASTM E230

• AMS 2750

• MIL-W-5846

• ANSI Z540-1

Calibration Type Characteristics

Type J (Iron vs Constantan) is used in vacuum, oxidizing, inert or reducing atmospheres. Iron element oxi-

dizes rapidly at temperatures exceeding 1000ºF (538ºC), and therefore heavier gauge wire is recommended

for longer life at these temperatures.

Type K (CHROMEL® vs ALUMEL®) is used in oxidizing, inert or dry reducing atmospheres. Exposure to

vacuum limited to short time periods. Must be protected from sulfurous and marginally oxidizing atmospheres. Reliable and accurate at high temperatures.

Type T (Copper vs Constantan) is used or service in oxidizing, inert or reducing atmospheres or in a vac-

uum. It is highly resistant to corrosion from atmospheric moisture and condensation and exhibits high stabil-ity at low temperatures. It is only type with limits or error guaranteed for cryogenic temperatures.

Type E (CHROMEL® vs Constantan) may be used in oxidizing, inert or dry reducing atmospheres, or for

short periods f time under vacuum. Must be protected from sulfurous and marginally oxidizing atmospheres.

Produces the highest EMF per degree of any standardized thermocouple.

Type N (Nicrosil vs Nisil) is used in oxidizing, inert or dry reducing atmospheres. Must be protected from

sulfurous atmospheres. Very reliable and accurate at high temperatures.
