The use of Chromel-P-Alumel thermocouples under certain atmospheric conditions resulted in severe negative emf errors. These emf drifts were investigated in stagnant and flowing air and helium atmospheres with and without solid contaminants. Results indicated that the principai mechanism involved in the negative emf drift phenomenon was the selective oxidation of chromium in the 800-900 deg C region of the Chromel wire. Selective intergranular oxidation of the chromium occurred only in a limited temperature range and within rather critical limits of atmospheric oxidizing potential. (C.E.S.)
