Cold-Junction Compensation

Cold-junction compensation is the process of measuring the temperature of the screw terminal junction
for the thermocouple and applying a representative compensating voltage to the voltage measured by
the thermocouple channel. The accuracy of the cold-junction temperature measurement is a key part of
the accuracy of the overall thermocouple temperature measurement. The TB-4353 is carefully designed
to ensure high-accuracy cold-junction temperature measurements, under a variety of conditions;
however, care must be taken to ensure the best possible accuracy. Refer to the
Gradients
section for guidelines to minimize thermal gradients that could impact the CJC accuracy.
