BS EN 60584-1:1996 is a British Standard that specifies the tolerances and limits of error for thermocouples. Thermocouples are devices used to measure temperature by exploiting the temperature-dependent voltage that occurs at the junction of two different metals. This standard provides tables and equations that enable users to determine the temperature of a thermocouple accurately.
The standard specifies the reference functions for thermocouples, which are the mathematical relationships between the voltage generated by the thermocouple and the temperature being measured. These reference functions are used to calculate the temperature of a thermocouple from its voltage output.
BS EN 60584-1:1996 also defines the limits of error for thermocouples. These limits of error are expressed as a percentage of the temperature being measured, and they vary depending on the type of thermocouple being used and the temperature range being measured. The standard also provides guidelines for selecting the appropriate type of thermocouple for a given temperature range.
In summary, BS EN 60584-1:1996 is a standard that specifies the tolerances and limits of error for thermocouples, and provides guidelines for selecting and using them to measure temperature accurately.
