A: Thermocouple and thermocouple materials are normally supplied to meet the tolerances specified in the table of temperatures above 0°C. The same materials, however, may not fall within the tolerances given for temperatures below 0°C in the normal section in the table. If materials are required to meet the tolerances stated for temperatures below 0°C the purchase order must specifically state that requirement. Selection of materials will usually be required.
B: Special tolerances for temperatures below 0°C are difficult to justify due to limited available information.
*: Standard and special limits of error in °F are 1.8 times larger thant the °C tolerance at the equivalent °C temperature.
