I wish to use a B-type thermocouple to measure a temperature of 16000C. I am using 1000C (boiling water) as my reference temperature. What is the emf expected at 16000C ? (Refer to the NIST thermocouple database):
a)
11.233 mv
b.
0.033 mV
c.
11.263 mV
d.
None of the above
Using NIST thermocouple database,
The emf of B-type thermocouple at 1600°C is 11.263 mV.
The below table is the B- type thermocouple database.
