    *Thermocouples and thermocouple materials are normally supplied to meet the limits of error
    specified in the table for temperatures above 0° C. The same materials, however, may not fall
    within the sub-zero limits of error given in the second section of the table. If materials are required
    to meet the sub-zero limits, the purchase order must so state. Selection of materials usually will be
    required.

    * Due to the non-linearity of the Types R, S and B temperature-EMF curves, the error introduced
    into a thermocouple system by the compensated wire will be variable when expressed in degrees.
    The degree C limits of error given in parentheses are based on the following measuring junction
    temperatures:

    Type wire Measuring Junction Temperature


    SX greater than 870 °C
    BX greater than 1000 °C

    ** Copper (+) versus copper nickel alloy (-)


    ***Copper versus copper compensating extension wire, usable to 100° C with maximum errors as
    indicated, but with no significant error over 0 to 50° C range. Matched proprietary alloy
    compensating wire is available for use over the range 0 to 200° C with claimed limits of error of ±
    0.033 mV. (± 3.7° C*)
