As the measurement terminal of the recorder is generally at room temperature, the actual
output of the thermocouple is different from the values given on the thermoelectromotive
force table based on 0°C. The recorder performs compensation by measuring the
temperature at the input terminal and adding the corresponding thermoelectromotive
force to the actual output of the thermocouple. Therefore, when the measurement
terminal is shorted (equivalent to the case when the detector tip is 0°C), the measured
value indicates the temperature of the input terminal.
When calibrating the recorder, this compensation voltage (thermoelectromotive force of
0°C reference corresponding to the input terminal temperature) must be subtracted from
the output of the DC voltage standard before application. As shown in the figure, by using
the 0°C standard temperature device to compensate the reference junction at 0 °C, you
can input the thermoelectromotive force of 0 °C reference from the DC voltage standard
and perform the calibration.
