ABSTRACT:
In a calibration warning device for a thermocouple, the thermocouple is connected to input terminals (10) of an operational amplifier (12) provided with negative feedback. The output is applied to the base of a transistor (14) controlling the current supplied to a mercury coulometer (18). When the coulometer indicator reaches full-scale deflection, the thermocouple is due to be recalibrated. The invention utilizes the face that the drift curve of a thermocouple can be matched to a sufficiently high accuracy by a suitable choice of transistor characteristic and amplifier gain, as is explained in the specification.
