Abstract

The importance of precise measurements of various quantities is undeniable, as their values effect many processes in industry and other fields. One of the important quantities measured, that effects a majority of processes is undoubtedly temperature. The following work is focused on selected factors that affects the precision of thermoelectric sensors from noble and base metals. All of the results are put into context with the factors that affect the measurement capabilities of thermocouples.

Keywords
