Calibrating a thermocouple HELP!

Homework Statement

I have to describe a procedure on calibrating a thermocouple system if excess temperature were required in degrees Celsius

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

I was not sure really sure on how to calibrate the system so i have no idea what do in the case of excess temperature

 

[supratim1]

increasing the thickness of the metals, would do the work.

thanks that's a start but is there any steps i should follow

 

[supratim1]

what steps are you talking about? how to increase the thickness?

Joyana ,firstly I assume you know the answers to these questions.
1.What is a thermocouple?
2.What is the thermometric property of a thermocouple in other words what changes as the temperature changes?
3.How are thermocouples set up and used and how is the thermometric property measured?
4.What is meant by "calibrating a thermocouple system"?
If you don't know the answers then do some research.If you get stuck on anything then report back here showing that you have made an attempt at a solution.
