Article Does the MAX31855 linearize the thermocouple result?

No. While the MAX31855 does perform automatic cold-junction compensation, it does not perform any linearization calculations. Linearizing the thermocouple results needs to be performed externally using the NIST calculations and coefficients: http://srdata.nist.gov/its90/main/

As an alternative, the MAX31856 performs on board linearization for all supported thermocouple types.
