This document outlines the procedure and calculations for determining the uncertainty in thermocouple measurements. It measures the temperature using a thermocouple five times at a setpoint of 1200°C and standard deviation of the readings is calculated. Various sources of uncertainty are identified and calculated including the uncertainty of the standard, indicator, dry block stability, drift of the master, and inhomogeneity of the thermocouple. The combined uncertainty is calculated to be 0.80°C and with a coverage factor of 2, the expanded and final uncertainty is determined to be +/- 1.60°C.
