Coefficients of Inverse Polynomials for Computation of Approximate

Temperature as a
Function of Thermocouple EMF
ASTM E230 03
T = c0 + c1E + c2E2 + c3E3... + cnEn [Refer page no. 187 of 192], on substituting
the emf (voltage) measured in the above equation, we will get the corresponding
temperature.

K-Type thermocouple
For K-Type thermocouple, Green colour for +ve polarity terminal, white colour
for ve polarity terminal and green colour for overall jacket. This is ASTM
Standard No. E230
Type KNickel-10 % chromium (+) versus nickel-5 % (aluminum, silicon) ()
[Refer page 2 of 192]
K Type Thermocouple - Temperature range is - 200 to 1300 degree Celsius (i.e 454 to 2500 Fahrenheit) [refer page 3 of 192 and Table in page 4 of 192]
Table 14 [page no. 41 of 192 to page no. 50 of 192] contains the temperature
(Fahrenheit) and corresponding voltage generated by K-type thermocouple
The value of c0, c1, c2, c3, c4, c5, c6, c7, c8 and c9 for K-Type thermocouple is
given in page no. 188 of 192.
