Conclusions

The method thus developed for calibrating tungsten-rhenium to tungsten-rhenium thermocouples by fusing at their hot junction small quantities of metals, such as silver, copper, nickel, palladium, platinum, and rhodium, and recording the constant fusing temperature on an ÉPP-09 potentiometer, connected to the circuit through an F-17 photoelectric amplifier, is characterized by good reproducibility of calibration results.

It is possible to compute thermocouple emfs in the range of 900–2000°C with deviations not exceeding 0.3% of the measured temperature by means of an interpolation formula derived from experimental data.
