Frequently Asked Questions
What is a thermocouple used for?
A thermocouple is used to measure temperature by connecting two dissimilar metal wires at one end. When heated, this junction generates a small voltage that is proportional to temperature. This voltage is then read by an instrument designed to accept thermocouple input, allowing for accurate temperature monitoring in various industrial, scientific, and consumer applications.
What is the function of a thermocouple?
A thermocouple functions as a temperature sensor by utilizing two dissimilar metal wires joined at one end. When heated, this junction generates a voltage differential that varies with temperature changes. The opposite ends of the wires connect to a thermocouple-capable device, such as a thermometer, which interprets this voltage as a temperature reading, providing precise temperature monitoring.
What is the most commonly used thermocouple?
The most commonly used thermocouple is the Type K Thermocouple (Nickel-Chromium / Nickel-Alumel). It is favored for its affordability, accuracy, reliability, and broad temperature range. The Type K can measure temperatures from -454°F to 2,300°F (-270°C to 1260°C), making it versatile for various applications from industrial to scientific.
