SPECIAL NOTE
This American National Standard (ANS) is a national voluntary consensus standard developed under the auspices of the American
Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). Consensus is defined by the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI), of which ASHRAE is a member and which has approved this standard as an ANS, as “substantial agreement reached
by directly and materially affected interest categories. This signifies the concurrence of more than a simple majority, but not necessarily
unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that an effort be made toward their resolution.”
Compliance with this standard is voluntary until and unless a legal jurisdiction makes compliance mandatory through legislation.
ASHRAE obtains consensus through participation of its national and international members, associated societies, and public
review.
ASHRAE Standards are prepared by a Project Committee appointed specifically for the purpose of writing the Standard. The
Project Committee Chair and Vice-Chair must be members of ASHRAE; while other committee members may or may not be ASHRAE
members, all must be technically qualified in the subject area of the Standard. Every effort is made to balance the concerned interests
on all Project Committees.
The Manager of Standards of ASHRAE should be contacted for:
a. interpretation of the contents of this Standard,
b. participation in the next review of the Standard,
c. offering constructive criticism for improving the Standard,
d. permission to reprint portions of the Standard.

2 ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 41.1-1986 (RA 2006)
(This foreword is not a part of this standard. It is merely
informative and does not contain requirements necessary
for conformance to the standard. It has not been
processed according to the ANSI requirements for a
standard and may contain material that has not been
subject to public review or a consensus process.)
FOREWORD
This is a reaffirmation of ASHRAE Standard 41.1-1986.
This standard was prepared under the auspices of the Ameri-
can Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE). It may be used, in whole or in part, by
an association or government agency with due credit to
ASHRAE. Adherence is strictly on a voluntary basis and
merely in the interests of obtaining uniform standards
throughout the industry.
This standard was written to establish methods of temper-
ature measurement that provide consistent procedures that
may be referenced in other ASHRAE standards.
There were no changes made for the 2006 reaffirmation.
1. PURPOSE
The purpose of this standard is to set forth recommended
practices for temperature measurements and provide adequate
and consistent measurement procedures for reference in other
standards.
2. SCOPE
The procedures described herein are intended for use in
testing heating, refrigerating, and air-conditioning equipment
and components. The media in which temperature measure-
ments are made include air, water, brine, and volatile or
nonvolatile refrigerants, under both steady-state and transient
temperature conditions between -40ºF and 400ºF (-40ºC and
204ºC).
3. DEFINITIONS
accuracy: the ability of an instrument to indicate or record the
true value of a measured quantity. The error of indication,
which is the difference between the indicated value and the
true value of the measured quantity, expresses the accuracy of
an instrument.
precision: closeness of agreement among repeated measure-
ments of the same physical quantity by the same method under
the same conditions and with the same instrument. (An instru-
ment may be precise but not accurate.)
saturation deficiency: the amount that the humidity ratio of an
air sample is below the saturated humidity ratio of air at the
same temperature and pressure.
sensitivity: the relationship between an observed change in the
position of an instrument pen, pointer, or indicator and the
magnitude of change in the measured quantity required to
produce that reaction of the indicator. It can be expressed as a
numerical ratio if the units of measurement of the two quan-
tities are stated. An increase in sensitivity means a correspond-
ing increase in the ability of an instrument to react to extremely
small changes in the measured quantity.
shall: where "shall" or "shall not" is used for a provision, that
provision is mandatory if compliance with the standard is
claimed.
should: "should" or "should not" is used to indicate provisions
that are not mandatory but that are desirable as good practice.
steady-state conditions: an operating state of a system, includ-
ing its surroundings, in which the extent of change with time
of all the significant parameters is so small as to have no
important effect on the performance being observed or
measured.
temperature, dry-bulb: the temperature of a gas or mixture of
gases indicated by an accurate thermometer after correction
for radiation.
temperature, wet-bulb: the temperature at which liquid or
solid water, by evaporating into air, can bring the air to satu-
ration adiabatically at the same temperature. Wet-bulb temper-
ature (without qualification) is the temperature indicated by a
wet-bulb psychrometer constructed and used according to
specifications.
transducer: a device that changes one form of physical quan-
tity into another. In the measurement field, transducers are
generally used to sense a variety of measurands, such as line
voltage, current, power, pressure, and temperature, and to
convert these to a common output signal for use with a control-
ling or recording instrument.
transient state: the state in which the system undergoes a
normal change in operation, such as thermostat cycling or
actuation of a defrost control.
4. INSTRUMENTS
4.1 Temperature measurements shall be made with an
instrument or instrument system, including read-out devices,
meeting the accuracy and precision requirements in Table 1.
The following are in common use for this purpose but are not
all-inclusive:
a. Liquid-in-glass thermometers
b. Thermocouples
c. Electric resistance thermometers, including thermistors
In general, the response time of liquid-in-glass ther-
mometers is too large to be used in transient testing.
4.2 The rate of heat flow to or from a moving fluid under
steady-state conditions is determined by the product of the
enthalpy change and the mass flow rate for the fluid. The mea-
surement of heat flow involves two situations that allow dif-
ferent levels of accuracy in temperature measurement to
produce equivalent levels of accuracy in the heat flow mea-
surement.
a. For the case of flow of air, water, or nonvolatile refriger-
ant, relatively small changes in enthalpy are predomi-
nantly due to sensible heat changes. These are associated

ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 41.1-1986 (RA 2006) 3
with comparatively large mass flow rates. The small mag-
nitude of the enthalpy change requires the determination
of temperature and, in turn, temperature differences with
considerable accuracy.
b. For the case of flow of a volatile refrigerant, a change of
state is involved and relatively large changes in enthalpy
are associated with comparatively small mass flow rates.
Less accuracy in temperature measurement is required to
obtain a desired level of accuracy in heat flow rate mea-
surement.
Note: In two-phase measurements, temperature and mass
flow rate alone are not sufficient to determine heat flow.
4.3 For transient testing, in addition to those requirements
listed in Table 1, the instrumentation used shall have the fol-
lowing capabilities:
a. Continuously recording the data used in the calculation.
For this standard, continuous recording for sampling sys-
tems used for this purpose shall have the following maxi-
mum intervals of sampling:
• For steady-state tests—1 minute
• For the rate of temperature change 1.0°F/s
(0.5°C/s) or greater—5 seconds
0.5°F/s to 1.0°F/s (0.25 to 0.50°C/s)—10 seconds
less than 0.5°F/s (0.25°C/s)—20 seconds
b. Continuously recording the data used for room control.
For this standard, continuous recording for sampling sys-
tems used for this purpose shall have the following maxi-
mum intervals of sampling:
• For steady-state testing—1 minute
• For transient testing—20 seconds
c. Achieving a total system accuracy within ±0.3ºF
(±0.17°C) of individual values.
d. Achieving a total system response time of 2.5 seconds or
less. The response time for this standard is defined as the
time required for the system to obtain 63% of the final
steady-state value when the transducer is subjected to a
step change in temperature of 15°F (8°C) or more The
test for system response time shall be made in the same
fluid and at the same velocity as observed at the location
where the temperature will be measured.
When using temperature transducers in series or parallel
(such as thermocouple grids or thermopiles) to obtain the aver-
age temperature or average temperature differences in a duct
with nonuniform velocities, the overall response time can be
much larger than the response time measured at the average
velocity. For this standard, the response time for such
measurements is defined as the overall response time
measured at the velocity conditions of the actual tests.

Note 1—This is the recommended tolerance to be specified on individual readings in a series of readings to be averaged over the duration of the test. Greater tolerances may
be specified in specific standards for circumstances such as frosting and defrosting.
Note 2—Test conditions are recommended to average within the tolerance shown. Exceptions may be specified for special situations such as frosting and defrosting (see note1).

4 ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 41.1-1986 (RA 2006)
4.4 In no case shall the smallest scale division of the instru-
ment exceed twice the specified precision. For example, if the
specified precision is ±0.10ºF (±0.05ºC), the smallest scale
division shall not exceed 0.20ºF (0.10ºC).
4.5 Where an accuracy better than ±0.50ºF (±0.30ºC) is
specified, the instrument shall be calibrated by comparison
with a National Institute of Standards and Technology cali-
brated primary or secondary standard or shall itself be simi-
larly calibrated. The indicated corrections shall be applied to
obtain the required accuracy. In this range of accuracy, mer-
cury- in-glass or platinum resistance thermometers or individ-
ually calibrated thermocouples or thermistors are
recommended.
4.6 Wherever possible, temperature-measuring instruments
used to measure the change in temperature of a liquid or a gas
should be arranged so that they can readily be interchanged
between inlet and outlet positions after every reading. This
will improve the accuracy of temperature difference measure-
ment.
4.7 Whenever possible, temperature measurements down-
stream of a potential heat source or sink should be compared
with upstream measurements under conditions of steady tem-
perature with fluid flow but with no heating flow. This cali-
bration may identify problems with the instrumentation or the
test setup.
4.8 Whenever two instruments are used to measure a small
temperature difference, the investigator should recognize the
effect of individual instrument accuracies on the accuracy of
the calculated temperature difference.
Obtaining system accuracies comparable to those in
Table 1 will require careful calibration.

the measurement of flow of a fluid and determination of its
entering and leaving enthalpy. The enthalpy depends on
