App id: INST-25. Reference version 1.0.

How to fill it

Fill the inputs. The tool shows the outputs.

On the tool screen, Calc is the working sheet. Presets stores values you reuse. Reference is the formula, assumptions, and provenance below.

Formula

E(T_hot) = E_measured + E(T_cold);  T_hot from ITS-90 inverse

Inputs

NameUnit
Type (0=K, 1=J, 2=T, 3=E, 4=N, 5=R, 6=S)1
Measured EMF (camera)mV
Cold-junction temperature (optional)C

Outputs

NameUnit
Hot-junction temperature (hero result)C
Compensated EMFmV

Diagnose

This tool does not attach diagnose observations.

Assumptions

  • Leave cold junction blank for 0 °C. Voltage outside a type’s tabulated range is still inverted, not clamped.

Provenance

  • NIST ITS-90 inverse thermocouple polynomials. INST-26 is this same CJC path — not a second tool.
