What is cold junction compensation in thermocouples? How is
it achieved?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Answer / guest
A thermocouple measurement involves two thermocouples, one
at hot junction and another, a cold junction, at 0degC.
Maintaining this cold junction at 0 degC is cumbersome, and
it is easier if it can be at room temperature. The
indicated temperature will be lesser by "room temperature
value", and if room temperature varies, then the indicated
temperature also varies. Measures to counteract these
errors is called cold junction compensation. When cold
junction temperature increases, the voltage from
thermocouple decreases. If an equivalent voltage is added
to this, then cold junction errors can be removed.One can
monitor this cold junction (near the terminals where the
thermocouples get connected to copper wires of indicator)
using another sensor, and add an equivalent voltage to
thermocouple voltage to compensate for changes in cold
junction. Alternatively, the ambient temperature measured
can be added to temperature computed from thermocouple
voltage to get CJC.

TC works on the principle of SEEBACK's Effect, which states
the the temperature difference is directly proportional to
induced emf, when two dissimilar metals are twisted together
and heated at end.
its equation states,
hot junction - cold junction = induced emf.
its means hot junction is the temperature measured..
cold junction means the ambient temperature unlessly
considering the compensation. we have keep the cold junction
as constant by giving a constant hot source or ice bath. so
that its easy to find the hot junction values.

cold jn.compensation is achieved by introducing a 3 junction
called compensating jn.which does not allow the temperature of
cold jn.to rise above 1 degree celcius .

given a processor batch of 1000 resistors moving on the conveyor belting in a large factory. the resistors is value at 10k ohms each but when the resistors reach the quality control, some of the resistor has been rejected caused by failure in manufacturing.the high quality measurement is used to determine the failure. describe the instrumentation terminology in measurement of a system above with explaining the important in:- -reliability -sensitivity -repeatability -precision -range -resolution -linearity -hysteresis -error -accuracy (answer must related to the scenario above)
