| Resumen: |
Under the auspices of the Inter-american Metrology System (SIM), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) initiated a regional comparison for type K thermocouples from
100 °C to 1100 °C, with 11 participating countries. The use of type K material above approximately 200 °C is considered destructive. Therefore, each participating laboratory was sent new, unused wire from a lot of material characterized by NIST. The uniformity of the lot was remarkable, especially at temperatures above 500 °C; the standard deviation of the thermocouple emf values of multiple cuts tested at NIST was 2.7 µV or less over the full temperature range. The high uniformity eliminated any need to correct for variations of the transfer standard among the laboratories, greatly simplifying the analysis. The level of agreement among the laboratories’ results was quite good. Even though test procedures and equipment varied significantly among the participants, the standard deviation of all emf values at each test temperature was less than the equivalent of 0.20 °C at 200 °C and below, and less than 0.60 °C from 400 °C to 1100 °C. Of the 380 total bilateral combinations of the data at the eight test temperatures, only 13 (i.e., 3.4 % of all combinations) are outside the k = 2 limits, and of these 13, only 3 are outside k = 3 limits. All of the outliers occur at temperatures of 800 °C and below, which suggests that drift of the type K wire due to high-temperature oxidation did not cause changes in thermocouple emf comparable to or larger than the claimed uncertainties. |
