Today change in output voltage per degree rise in temperature was measured.

Though this circuit is designed for K-type thermocouples we had no choice but attach a J-type one as we did not have any K-type thermocouples.

The average rise in output voltage for a degree rise in temperature was recorded to be 10.17mV, which is quite close to 10mV/degC, we are expecting a better result from a K-type thermocouple.

Following are some pictures of today's test setup (they are taken randomly, so don't try to match readings)
