STEM CORRECTIONS (mercury in glass thermometers)

C = Correction (for a total immersion thermometer)

K = Differential expansion coefficient between mercury and glass

N = Number of thermometer scale degrees the mercury is out of the bath

t_i= Temperature of the thermometer bulb

= Average temperature of the portion of the stem containing mercury which is out of the bath

note: K = .00016/C? or K = .00009/ F?

t_a= Actual temperature

TEMPERATURE COMPARISON CHART

THERMOCOUPLES

^Et = ^Er + ^Em

^{Et = EMF value corresponding to the actual temperature at the Hot Junction}

^Er = EMF output of the thermocouple if one junction were at 0 ?C and the other junction were at a temperature equal to the one being used as the reference under discussion.

^Em = Measured EMF output of the couple in its configuration of use (that is, reference junction not at 0 ?C).
