Allthermocouples sold by Pico Technology are manufactured to strict industry tolerances, specifically IEC 60584-2 :1993 / BS EN 60584-1:2013, to guarantee accuracy for any given thermocouple. This topic provides the IEC colour code, thermocouple material and tolerances for the 3 tolerance classes for Type B, E, J, K, N, R, S and T thermocouples. Temperatures are expressed in degrees Celsius.

The importance of standards is that it ensures traceability and constant quality of products. When manufacturers produce products in accordance with international standards the user can be fully confident that the specification are met.

IEC 60584 describes the requirements for accuracy of the bare, un-used, thermocouple wire.

Class 1 in the IEC 60584 standard indicates that the EMF values after calibration are within the tolerances indicated in this standard. These tolerances of IEC-60584-1 specifies reference functions and tolerances for thermocouples (types R, S, B, J, T, E, K, N, C and D). The temperatures are expressed in Celsius and the EMF values are expressed in microvolts.

In the case of PT elements whom are also in accordance with IEC 60751 the element will give the same values for base resistance and the defined tolerance curve will also be the same. This is perfect for the interchangeability of these sensors in case one is defect. Because of the compliance with the standard IEC 60751 no adjustment will be needed to the control loop, provided that the latter has the same input (Pt100 for a Pt100).

These specifications show temperature- EMF relationships for Thermocouples. Lists of standard and special tolerances are also listed in ASTM E230. These lists contain initial values of EMF values versus temperature for Thermocouples, Thermocouple extension wires and compensating extension wires for thermocouples. The colour coding for thermocouples are also defined in ASTM E230 and for thermocouple extension wires.

ASTM E230 includes recommendations regarding upper temperature limits for the thermocouple types. There are also recommendations listed in ASTM E230 for single-legs of the thermocouples regarding the temperature vs EMF data.

ASTM E230 includes coefficients of inverse polynomials. These coefficients are used to compute approximation of temperature as a function of the Thermocouple EMF. These functions are only defined for thermocouple pairs and these coefficients are only valid over the defined EMF range.

This standard is defined for thermocouples basic values and tolerance values of the thermoelectric voltages. In IEC 60584, the tolerances are defined as Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3.Class 1 is similar to the Special Limits of Error, Class 2 is similar to Standard Limits of Error, and Class 3 is similar to Extension Grade materials in ANSI/ASTM E230 although the values are a little different.

ASTM E230 defines EMF values and tolerances and is common in North America. Where IEC 60584-1 is divided in class 1, 2 and 3 ASTM E230 is divided in to the special limits and standard limits. These special limits are defined for the thermocouple types K/N/J/E/T/R/S/B.

From the multiplicity of possible wire pairings (over 300 combinations of material pairings for temperature measurement are known) some are used for industrial temperature measurement. The thermovoltages here lie within the range of 5mV/C to approx. 100mV/C.

Those materials suitable for industrial temperature measurements are standardized in the DIN EN 60584-1. The thermovoltages indicated in this standard always refer to a cold junction temperature of 0C.
