Thermocouple
A Thermocouple is a temperature sensor and depending on the design selected can provide a measurement within the range of -454°F to 4,200°F (-270 to 2315°C). Thermocouples also provide a great range of Response Time and Durability from Very Fast 0.25 seconds (Micro) designs to Large (Rugged) constructions. Other attributes include ease of use and fairly good accuracy of 1 to 4°F (0.5 to 2°C) depending on the design and temperatures being measured.
The overall capabilities of thermocouples make them one the primary temperature measurement technologies utilized throughout science, industry and research, along with use in consumer and commercial world with food processing, indoor heating and cooling along with some appliances.
Thermocouples consist of 2 different specially selected metal alloys, commonly referred as Calibrations. The wires or flat strips are joined together at one end to create a junction (electrical connection). A change in temperature at this junction results in the wires creating a very small voltage (millivolt) signal. The voltage is measured and compared to specific temperatures and type of thermocouple types utilized.
- Thermocouple Types or Calibration - 9 Different types (J, K, T, E, R, S, B, C and N) are the most utilized design, although at least 8 other types are available for very specific capabilities or applications. Such as extreme temperature tungsten rhenium alloys (D and G) or Type P (Plantinel II to mimic type K at higher temperature with enhanced corrosion resistance) along with other combinations made with Gold, Platinum, Iridium, Rhodium and other Nobel metal combinations
- Temperature measurement range from Sub-Zero -454°F (-270°F) to extreme High temperatures of 4,200°F (2315°C)
- Diameters range from Very Fine .003" (40 gage) with fast response to Large .128" (8 gage) very durable are commonly used, although smaller and larger diameters or thickness are utilized in specific applications.
