A thermocouple is another form of temperature sensor that can measure temperature effectively. It is constructed of two metal wires joined together and creates a junction known as a measuring junction. When a change occurs in the temperature at the junction, it produces a voltage that can be read and interpreted to read the temperature. This is also known as the feedback effect. Knowing more about such tools is always better to make sure you are making the right choice.
Types of Thermocouples
There is an extensive range of thermocouple types available. Each of these sensor transducers in the automation and control gear category has unique characteristics such as robustness and temperature range. Each of these letters is identified by some letter, such as the letter K. Some of the common types include:
- Type J
- Type K
- Type L
- Type T
These letters tell us the material used and the temperature at which you can operate them. For example, J-Type is constructed from iron and copper-nickel, which can be used at temperatures around 0°C to 816°C, depending mainly on characteristics. Some thermocouples are available with an extra sheath that insulates the wire to increase their operating life. Thermocouples are perfect tools for the measurement of high temperatures, and that is why they are popularly preferred and are a reliable and affordable option.
Applications of Thermocouples
Thermocouples are effective temperature measuring devices that you can use In a variety of applications in both industrial and domestic settings. Some of them include:
- Sensors
- Oven Safety Features
- Food Thermometers
- Thermostats
- Hospital
- Thermometers
- Vehicle Diagnostics
- Boiler/Heating
