Thermocouple mV tables (IEC 60584-1)
A thermocouple mV table lists the thermoelectric voltage of a thermocouple in millivolts (mV) at each temperature according to IEC 60584-1, with the reference junction at 0 °C. A type K thermocouple reads 0.000 mV at 0 °C, 4.096 mV at 100 °C and 41.276 mV at 1,000 °C.
How to read the tables
Every value answers one question: what voltage does this thermocouple produce at this temperature, when the reference junction is held at 0 °C? Find the temperature in the left column (hundreds of degrees) and the top row (tens), and read the voltage in millivolts. For temperatures between rows, interpolate between the neighbouring values.
In a working installation the instrument does this for you: it measures the voltage, measures its own terminal temperature, applies cold-junction compensation and converts the result to a temperature using these same reference functions. The tables are for the moments when you stand with a voltmeter, a data sheet or a calibration certificate and need the conversion yourself.
Worked example: a type K thermocouple with the reference junction at 0 °C reads 8.138 mV. The table places the value at exactly 200 °C.
Base-metal thermocouples — types K, J, T, E and N
The base-metal types cover the everyday range of industrial measurement. Each table gives the thermoelectric voltage in millivolts over the type’s full defined range in IEC 60584-1 — for type K, that is −270 °C to 1,372 °C.

Noble-metal thermocouples — types S, R and B
The platinum-rhodium types serve the highest temperatures, and their signals are an order of magnitude smaller — type S produces about 0.646 mV at 100 °C, where type K produces 4.096 mV. Type B has a property of its own: below about 50 °C it produces almost no signal at all — 0.002 mV at 50 °C — which is why cold-junction errors barely affect it.

The reference functions behind the tables
Every value in the tables comes from the reference functions defined in IEC 60584-1: polynomials in temperature, fitted per type and per range — type K adds an exponential term above 0 °C. The functions are what a modern instrument evaluates when it converts voltage to temperature, and the tables are those functions written out at 10 °C intervals. The same reference functions appear in the ITS-90 thermocouple tables, so values can be cross-checked against any ITS-90 source.
The tables show the nominal curve
The tables are the nominal IEC 60584-1 characteristic — the curve a thermocouple is built to follow. A real thermocouple deviates from it within its tolerance class: for a type K in class 2, up to ±2.5 °C below 333 °C and ±0.0075 · t above. The classes and their formulas for every type are covered under Thermocouple tolerance classes.
Frequently asked questions
What is a thermocouple mV table?
A reference table that lists the thermoelectric voltage a thermocouple produces at each temperature, according to IEC 60584-1, with the reference junction at 0 °C. Types B, E, J, K, N, R, S and T each have their own table.
What voltage does a type K thermocouple produce?
0.000 mV at 0 °C, 4.096 mV at 100 °C and 41.276 mV at 1,000 °C, with the reference junction at 0 °C — roughly 41 µV per °C over most of the range.
What is cold-junction compensation?
A thermocouple measures the temperature difference between its measuring junction and its reference junction. The tables assume the reference junction is at 0 °C; in a real installation it sits at the instrument’s terminals, so the instrument measures its own terminal temperature and corrects the reading. That correction is cold-junction compensation.
How do I convert thermocouple mV to temperature?
Find the measured voltage in the table for your thermocouple type and read the temperature — interpolating between values where needed. Instruments and transmitters do the same conversion automatically using the IEC 60584-1 reference functions.
Why does a type B thermocouple read almost zero at room temperature?
Type B produces only 0.002 mV at 50 °C — practically no signal below about 50 °C. That is a feature rather than a flaw: errors at the reference junction barely affect the reading, which suits the very high temperatures type B is chosen for.
What is the difference between IEC 60584-1 and IEC 60584-3?
IEC 60584-1 defines the reference functions and tolerance classes — the mV tables on this page. IEC 60584-3 defines the colour codes for extension wires and compensating cables. Together they cover what a thermocouple produces and how its cables are identified.
