    This document provides a procedure for calibrating a thermocouple by connecting it and a current sensor to a datalogger, which is then connected to a computer running graphing software. The thermocouple and an identical reference junction are placed in ice water baths, and one bath is heated while recording the thermocouple output current and temperatures to generate a calibration graph of current versus temperature.

    Calibration of a thermocouple

    Procedure
    1. Set up the apparatus as shown.
    2. Connect the current sensor and temperature sensor to the datalogger.
    3. Connect the datalogger to the computer.
    4. Open the Graph program and set it to record current and temperature in real time.
    5. Allow the junctions to come to thermal equilibrium with their environment before taking
    measurements.
    6. Start with crushed ice in both beakers.
    7. Begin recording and heat one of the beakers while maintaining the other at zero Celsius.
    8. The datalogger will record current and corresponding temperature continuously.
    9. Observe the graph of current versus temperature develop on the computer screen as the water
    heats.
