1、Designation: E2820 11Standard Test Method forEvaluating Thermal EMF Properties of Base-MetalThermocouple Connectors1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E2820; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year

2、 of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This standard describes a thermal emf test method forbase-metal thermocouple connectors including Types E, J, K,N

3、and T. Standard connectors such as found in SpecificationsE1129/E1129M and E1684 as well as non-standard connectorconfigurations and connector components can be evaluatedusing this method.1.2 The measured emf is reported as an equivalent tempera-ture deviation or error relative to a reference thermo

4、couple ofthe same type. This method can be used to verify deviationsintroduced by the connector greater than or equal to 1C.1.3 The connector is tested with thermocouple contactsaxially aligned with a temperature gradient using a specifiedthermal boundary condition. The actual temperature difference

5、developed across the connector and corresponding error willdepend on the connector design.1.4 Connector contacts are often fabricated from raw mate-rials having temperature-emf relationships in accordance withSpecification E230. However, verifying Specification E230tolerances is not within the scope

6、 of this method.1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use.

Apparatus6.1 The apparatus includes a temperature source, thermo-couple readout d

The difference

17、 between channelsshall not exceed the equivalent of 0.1C when supplied withthe same voltage input.6.3 The temperature source heats the measuring junctionsand produces a temperature gradient across the connector.

19、mm and the capability of maintaining the specifiedtemperature within 1C. Comparison calibration baths asdescribed in Guide E2488 are suitable for this test.7. Hazards7.1 Review the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) beforeusing a fluid in a temperature-controlled bath. Temperaturelimits, flammability

20、, vapor pressure, toxicity and chemicalstability are important factors in determining a suitable fluid.8. Preparation of Apparatus8.1 The apparatus requires a dual thermocouple circuit witha common measuring junction. The circuit shall be fabricatedfrom the same spool of wire. Except for the connect

21、or undertest, the length of wire shall be continuous without splices orother connections between the measuring junction and thereadout device.8.2 The thermocouple wire shall carry the same letterdesignation (for example, Type K) as the connector under test.The wire shall conform to the special toler

22、ance in SpecificationE230 over the range of 0C to the maximum specifiedconnector test temperature. The wire size shall be 24 gage (0.5mm) unless specified otherwise.8.3 The test connector shall be installed approximately 70mm from the measuring junction. When testing in a dry-wellfurnace per Method

23、1, a thermally and electrically insulatinggasket shall be used to seal the furnace entrance, accentuatingthe temperature gradient across the connector. Placing thegasket between the plug and jack is generally the easiest wayto control the position of the connector within the temperaturegradient (Fig
