Thermo Calc
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thermo Calc is intended as an aid for anyone who uses thermocouples. It
will calculate the EMF generated by any of the standard thermocouples at any
temperature within their specified ranges; or will calculate the temperature
if the EMF is known. Thermo Calc can, therefore, be used by people
calibrating or designing thermometers based on thermocouples, or people who
wish to use thermocouples directly into a voltmeter without any intervening
electronics.
The formulae used by Thermo Calc are based on BS 4937, for which full
credit is acknowledged. The formulae are claimed to give errors no greater
than the least significant digit in the BS 4937 tables. This should, in
theory, ensure that any results obtained by this program can be considered to
be correct for all practical purposes. (If anyone discovers otherwise PLEASE
let me know).
