Thermocouple simulation: A calibration technique
Abstract
The calibration temperature readout devices that employ a thermocouple probe is discussed. This readout is best accomplished if a thermocouple junction's voltage output is simulated at different temperatures and sent to the readout device. With the right equipment in an electrical calibration laboratory, a suitable computer controlled system can be constructed to simulate a given thermocouple junction for any selected temperature.
