UNCERTAINTIES IN THE WHOLE RANGE OF THE CALIBRATION OF A THERMOCOUPLE

Peter Benkó, Rudolf Palencár

Abstract

This contribution describes the procedure of evaluating the calibration of thermocouple by means of its comparison with the thermocouple standard. In the process of thermocouple calibration by means of comparison, the resulting uncertainty specified by applying the generalized procedure for evaluating the calibration of measuring devices with continuous scale. The advantage of this method of evaluation is the determination of uncertainties in the whole range of the calibration. The conclusion of this paper states the illustrated differencies between cases when covariances are into account or are not.
