Terminology3.1 DefinitionsDefinitions given in Terminology E 344,unless otherwise defined herein, apply to terms as used in thispractice.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 correction, nnumerical value added to the uncor-rected result

7、of a measurement to compensate for errors.3.2.1.1 DiscussionThe correction is equal to the negativeof the estimated errors. Since the systematic error cannot beknown perfectly, the compensation cannot be complete.3.2.2 error, nthe indication of a thermometer or tempera-ture measuring device minus a

8、true value of the correspondinginput quantity.3.2.2.1 DiscussionSince the true value cannot be deter-mined, in practice a conventional true value is used. Thisconcept applies mainly where the instrument is compared to areference standard.3.2.3 gradient zone, nthe section of a thermocouple that isexp

9、osed during a measurement to temperatures in the rangefrom tamb+ 0.1(tm tamb)totamb+ 0.9(tm tamb), where tambisambient temperature and tmis the temperature of the measuringjunction.3.2.3.1 DiscussionThis term is used in thermocouplecalibration reports as part of the description of the thermalprofile

10、 along the length of the thermocouple. Although athermocouple emf is a function of the measuring and referencejunction temperatures, the emf is actually generated along thelength of the thermocouple, wherever the thermoelements passthrough a temperature gradient. The gradient zone definition isinten

11、ded to describe, in an approximate way, the section ofthermocouple that created most of the emf during the calibra-tion.3.2.4 half-maximum heated length, nthe distance betweenthe tip of the temperature sensor and the position along thelength of the sensor leads or sheath where the temperatureequals

12、the average of the calibration-point and ambient tem-peratures.1This practice is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee E20 on TemperatureMeasurement and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee E20.07 on Funda-mentals in Thermometry.Current edition approved Nov. 1, 2008.
