5.1.4Thermocouple Conditioning and Preparation

1.Use a calibrated thermocouple as specified in Table 5-1.

2.Measure the thermocouple resistance by holding both wires on one probe and the tip of thermocouple to the other probe of the DMM (compare to thermocouple resistance specifications).

3.Straighten the wire for about 38 mm (1½ inch) from the bead to place it inside the channel.

4.Bend the tip of the thermocouple to approximately a 45 degree angle by 0.8 mm (0.030 inch) from the tip (Figure 5-3).
