Any thermocouple measuement requires 2 temperature measurements
- hot junction measurement
- cold junction measurement

A cold junction is created at the point where
non-compensation wire is connected to the thermocouple wire.

A measurement without compensation wire AND without a
corresponding cold junction measurement is not valid.

The only way to take a K type thermocouple measurement (or
any type thermocouple measurement) without compensating
cable is to use a temperature transmitter configured for the
type of thermocouple because the transmitter will perform
the cold junction measurement at its wiring terminals.

I have observed in field instrumentation work... I remove the fuse of an analog transmitter then it shows 7.75 kg/sq cm (which is practically wrong value)in DCS and when put the fuse it shows 0 in dcs. Then cheach the field transmitter termination and found moister. clean that and then it shows 1.1 kg/ sq cm which is right value. Please describe the above phenomenon.
