Question: 18

Answer:

At 700degreeC,

The K-type thermocouple measures 29.14mV with 0degreeC reference

Converting 70degreeF to 0degreeC:

T (degreeF) = 9/5 T (degreeC) +32

T (degreeC) = 5/9 (T (degreeF) -32)

= 5/9 (70 – 32)

= 21degreeC

So, at 21degreeC, Thermocouple measures (approx) = 0.8 mV

29.14mV – 0.8mV

28.34mV

Thus for 1.5V, the K-type thermocouples required will be:

1.5/28.34mV = 52.928
