Summary

Abstract: Experimental measurements show that a reasonable correlation among recovery corrections at various pressures and temperatures for butt-welded straight-wire thermocouples is given by an empirical equation in which the correction is seen to be proportional to the fifth root of the pressure and inversely proportional to the fourth root of the temperature. Resultant probable errors in temperature measurements are presented and discussed.
