3. Terminology
3.1 Definitions:
coaxial thermocouple—a thermocouple consisting of a ther-
moelement in wire form within a thermoelement in tube
accuracy, n—of a temperature measurement, closeness of
form with the wire being electrically insulated from the tube
agreement between the result of a temperature measurement
except at the measuring junction.
and a true value of the temperature.
compensating extension wires, n—those extension wires
DISCUSSION—Accuracy is a qualitative concept.
fabricated from materials basically different in composition
from the thermocouple.

elements are composed primarily of base metals and their
