Abstract :
An algorithm that can be used to calculate the true temperature profile from a series of temperature measurements made with a thermocouple having shunting errors due to insulator leakage is described. Inputs to the program are a series of voltages measured at the cold end of the thermocouple as it is inserted into the temperature gradient and the physical and material characteristic of the thermocouple.
