Note 1. Type 1, Classes C and E, and Types 2, 3, and 4 are duplex (two conductor) wire.
Note 2. Sizes shown are approximate to facilitate part numbering.
3.3.1.3 Electromotive force. The temperature-electromotive force relationship of the
chromel and alumel conductors forced together as a thermocouple shall conform to
requirements in Table II within the tolerances listed in Table III. (see 4.3.2)
3.3.1.4 Splices. Splices in individual strands of a stranded conductor shall be of the butt
type. Splices in strands which are composed of a group of individual strands shall be of
the butt type. Butt type splices shall be brazed with silver solder. Splices shall be so
constructed and disposed throughout the conductor that the diameter, configuration,
