A.consists of two, three, or four letters
B.is the same for all instruments in a specific loop
C.identifies the measured or initiating variable
D.appears in the upper portion of the instrument balloon
B. is the same for all instruments in a specific loop

The statement ; “Thermocouple extension wires must have the same thermo electric properties as the thermocouple that they are used with,” is:
A. true, if the extension wires are submerged in the process fluid.
B. true, in all installations
C.false. extension wires must be made from either copper or brass
