This part of BS 1041 provides guidance on the selection and use of thermocouples. It provides an introduction to the operating principles of thermocouples and their application to the measurement of temperature. A brief review of thermoelectricity and basic thermocouple circuits and an overview of the materials commonly used in thermocouples in various temperature ranges, with their strengths and weaknesses are included. The fabrication of thermocouples, associated hardware, measurement techniques, tolerances and calibration are described.
