1、Designation: E 2623 08Standard Practice forReporting Temperature Calibrations1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E 2623; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parent

2、heses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice contains reporting requirements for tem-perature calibrations included in ASTM Test Methods.1.2 This practice includes radiation thermome

3、ters, liquid-in-glass thermometers, resistance thermometers, and new thermo-couples. The appendices include sample reports compliant withthis practice.NOTE 1This practice does not apply to used thermocouples.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated

4、with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Terminology3.1 DefinitionsDefinitions given in Terminology E 344,unless

7、otherwise defined herein, apply to terms as used in thispractice.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 correction, nnumerical value added the uncorrectedresult of a measurement to compensate for errors.3.2.1.1 DiscussionThe correction is equal to the negativeof the estimated syste

8、matic error. Since the systematic errorcannot be known perfectly, the compensation cannot be com-plete.3.2.2 error, nthe indication of a thermometer or tempera-ture measuring device minus a true value of the correspondinginput quantity.3.2.2.1 DiscussionSince the true value cannot be deter-mined, in

9、 practice a conventional true value is used. Thisconcept applies mainly where the instrument is compared to areference standard.3.2.3 gradient zone, nthe section of a thermocouple that isexposed during a measurement to temperatures in the rangefrom tamb+ 0.1(tm tamb)totamb+ 0.9(tm tamb), where tambi

10、sambient temperature and tmis the temperature of the measuringjunction.3.2.3.1 DiscussionThis term is used in thermocouplecalibration reports as part of the description of the thermalprofile along the length of the thermocouple. Although athermocouple emf is a function of the measuring and reference

11、junction temperatures, the emf is actually generated along thelength of the thermocouple, wherever the thermoelements passthrough a temperature gradient. The gradient zone definition isintended to describe, in an approximate way, the section ofthermocouple that created most of the emf during the cal

12、ibra-tion.3.2.4 half-maximum heated length, nthe distance betweenthe tip of the temperature sensor and the position along thelength of the sensor leads or sheath where the temperatureequals the average of the calibration-point and ambient tem-peratures.1This practice is under the jurisdiction ofASTM
