Tables of Thermoelectric Voltages for All Thermocouple Types

10 ratings | 4.20 out of 5
Read in | Print

Overview

The following tables give the output voltage J, K, T, S, B, E, R and N thermocouple (TC) types over a range of temperature in 5°C increments. In each case, the TC reference temperature is 0°C. The first-named material will be the positive terminal. For example, in the J-type TC table iron will be the positive lead when the reference temperature is lower than the measurement. The temperatures are in °C and the output is in mV. Each column is in 5°C increments from the temperature of that row.

Type J: IRON-CONSTANTAN
