Chapter 8, Problem 8.20P
A temperature measurement requires an uncertainty of ±2 °C (5%) at a temperature of 200 °C. A standard T-type thermocouple is to be used with a readout device that provides electronic ice-point reference junction compensation, and has a stated instrument uncertainty of 0.5 °C (95%) with 0.1 °C resolution. Determine whether the uncertainty constraint is met at the design stage.
