The specific heat capacity at constant pressure of
SAMA constantan as a negative thermoelement of the J-Type thermocouple is measured with a power-compensated differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) in the temperature range 103 K-303 K. This is done because very few data on the specific heat capacity of thermocouple materials over a wide temperature range exist. The specific heat capacity of high purity copper as a standard reference material is also measured to estimate the uncertainty of DSC measurements. The result on
SAMA constantan is compared to literature values, and is correlated with the 6th order of polynomial equation as a function of temperature. The validity of Kopp-Neumann law for the specific heat capacity of
SAMA constantan is also discussed.
