Thermocouple Voltage Measurement Error
Thermocouple outputs are extremely small — 10 to 70 µV per °C. Unless high
resolution input ranges are used when programming, the CR1000, accuracy and
sensitivity are compromised. Table
Voltage Range for Maximum Thermocouple
Resolution
(p. 331)
lists high resolution ranges available for various thermocouple
types and temperature ranges. The following four example calculations of
thermocouple input error demonstrate how the selected input voltage range
impacts the accuracy of measurements. Figure
Input Error Calculation
(p. 332)
shows from where various values are drawn to complete the calculations. See
Measurement Accuracy
for more information on measurement accuracy and
accuracy calculations.
When the thermocouple measurement junction is in electrical contact with the
object being measured (or has the possibility of making contact) a differential
measurement should be made to avoid ground looping.
