Indian Standard
SPECIFICATION FOR
THERMOCOUPLE PYROMETERS
(First Re,ision)
o. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard (First Revision) was adopted by the Indian
Standards Institution on 20 March 1974, after the draft finalized by the
Electrical Instruments Sectional Committee had been approved by the
Electrotechnical Division Council.
0.2 This standard was first issued in 1962 and covered requirements of
thermocouple pyrometers. In view of the fact that in most cases it is only
the thermocouple which is supplied by a manufacturer rather than the
complete pyrometer, it was decided to cover requirements of complete
pyrometer in this revision, while requirements for thermocouple are
covered in a separate standard IS: 7358-1974* .
0.3 The thermocouple pyrometers covered in this standard are suitable
for use in normal pressure.
NOTE - The requirements for thermocouple pyrometers for use at high pressure
are under consideration.
0.4 The reference tables giving the emf-temperature relationship for
different thermocouple materials are given in the following Indian
Standards:
IS : 2054-1962 Reference tables for nickel/chromium-nickel/alumi-
nium thermocouples
IS: 2055-1~2 Reference tables for platinum/rhodium-platinum
thermocouples
IS: 2056-1962 Reference tables for copper-constantan thermocouples
IS : 2057-19fi2 Reference tables for iron-constantan thermocouples
IS: 6720-1972 Reference tables for plantinum/30 percent rhodium-
platinum/6 percent rhodium .
0.5 For the purpose of deciding whether ·a particular requirement of
this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated,
expressing the result of a test, shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS: 2-1 960t . The number of significant places retained in the rounded
off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this
standard.
·Specification for thermocouples.
tRules for rounding off numerical values (revised).

1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard covers the requirements and methods of tests for
thermocouple pyrometers where the temperature indication is given by
the emf of the thermocouple.
1.2 It does not cover digital, controlling, radiation or optical pyrometers.
2. TERMINOLOGY
2.0 For the purpose of this standard, the following definitions in
addition to those given in IS: 1885 (Part XI )-1966· and IS: 7358-1974t
shall apply.
2.1 Pyrometer - An instrument for measuring temperature usually by
electrical means.
2.2 Thermocouple Pyrometer - A pyrometer which uses a thermo-
couple as the sensing element to which heat is transmitted directly.
2.3 Compensating Leads - A pair of lead wires of such material that
when it is connected to a thermocouple, the effective reference junctions
shall be transferred to the other end of the leads.
2.4 Extension Leads - A pair of lead wires of a material, such as
copper or aluminium, one end of which is connected to the reference
junction and the other to the indicator.
2.5 Esternal Resistance ( or Balancing Resistanee) - The value of
the resistance taken into account for calibrating the pyrometer for
temperature. It comprises the resistance of the thermocouple, compen-
sating and extension leads and any extra resistance added to make the
total to the value specified on the indicator.
2.6 Type Tests - Tests carried out to prove conformity with the
requirements of this specification.. These are intended to prove the
general qualities and design of a given type of thermocouple pyrometer.
2.7 Routine Tests - Tests carried out on each thermocouple pyrometer
to check requirements likely to vary during production.
3. COMPONENT PARTS
3.1 The thermocouple pyrometer shall consist of the following parts:
a) thermocouple (see 3.2 );
b) measuring device (see 3.3);
c) compensating leads, if required (see 3.4);
d) extension leads, if required;
e) balancing resistance, if required; and
f) reference junction compensating device, if required .

3.2 Therm.ocouple - The thermocouple shall conform to IS: 7358-1974*.

3.3 Measuring Device
3.3.1 Measuring device may be:
a) indicating instrument, or
b) recording instrument, or
c) any other suitable measuring device.
3.3.1.1 Indicating instrument-The indicating instrument used shall
conform to IS; l248-l968t.
3.3.1.2 Recording instrument-The recording instrument used shall
conform to IS: 6236-1971 t.
3.3.1.3 Other measuring devices-Other measuring devices used shall
conform to the relevant Indian Standards, wherever available.
3.3.2 Indicator Dial
3.3.2.1 The indicator dial shall be graduated to read the thermo-
couple measuring junction temperature in degree Celcius.
3.3.3 Compensation for Temperature Errors - The indicator may incorporate
the compensation for errors due to variation of ambient temperature.
3.4 Compensating Leads - The compensating leads shall conform to
'Indi.an Standard Specification for compensating leads' (under
preparation) .
4. ACCURACY
4.1 In judging the accuracy of an indicator, the emf-temperature
relationship of the materials used in thermocouples as stated by the
thermocouple wire'manufacturer as well as the given external resistance
in the circuit should be taken into account,
4.2 The accuracy of the thermocouple shall be in accordance with
IS: 7358-1974*.
5. MARKING
5.1 The following particulars, in addition to those given in IS: 1248-1968t
or IS; 6236-1971 t, as applicable, shall be prominently marked on the dial
of the pyrometer:
a) Manufacturer's name or trade-mark, if any;
b) Type of thermocouple for which the indicator is calibrated (for
example, Cu-Con);
·Specification for thermocouples.
tSpecification for direct acting electrical indicating inatruments (first r#1JisUm ).
