Question

P16-6. The wiring diagram of an S thermocouple is shown in Figure P16.6. The voltage

across the thermocouple wires, measured at the terminals of the analog input channel is

13.940 mV. The temperature of the reference (cold) junction is 23 °C. What is the

temperature (in °C) of the hot junction? Find your answers to the nearest one-hundredth of

a degree. Do the voltage-to-temperature conversion using:

(a) the S thermocouple table

(b) the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) polynomial

coefficients.
