Accuracy
Thermocouple measurement accuracy
Thermocouple accuracy specifications, including typical CJC measurement error.
All specifications are (±).
Note 1: Thermocouple measurement accuracy specifications include polynomial
linearization, cold-junction compensation error, and system noise. Accura-
cies shown do not include inherent thermocouple error or large temperature
gradients across the board. Contact your thermocouple supplier for details on
the inherent thermocouple accuracy error. The accuracy specifications assume
the device has been warmed up for the recommended 15 minutes.
Note 2: To avoid excessive cold-junction compensation errors, operate the device
in a stable temperature environment and away from heat sources that could
cause temperature gradients across the board. Refer to the documentation for
ways to decrease this error.
Note 3: When thermocouples are attached to conductive surfaces, the voltage
differential between multiple thermocouples must remain within ±0.8 V. For
best results MCC recommends using electrically insulated thermocouples when
possible.
