1 Introduction and Specifications
1.1 Introduction
AM1210 Type S Reference Standard Thermocouple is constructed
using reference grade Platinum and Platinum vs. 10% Rhodium
alloys. It covers a temperature range of 0 °C to 1300 °C with short
term stability of 0.2 °C all the way to Freezing Point of Copper
(1084.62 °C). It is commonly used as reference standard to
calibrate industrial thermocouples. All thermocouple wires and
parts are specially cleaned and annealed before assembly. Every
AM1210 thermocouple is fully annealed and tested again to meet
the tolerance criteria as specified in the table below.
