Thermocouple 

Thermocouples are highly versatile and reliable temperature sensors widely used in industrial, commercial, and scientific applications. These devices operate on the principle of the thermoelectric effect, where a voltage is generated when two dissimilar metals are joined together at one end and exposed to a temperature gradient. This voltage corresponds to the temperature difference between the measurement point (hot junction) and the reference point (cold junction), allowing for precise temperature readings across a wide range.

 

Constructed from materials such as Type K (Chromel-Alumel), Type J (Iron-Constantan), Type T (Copper-Constantan), and other specialized alloys, thermocouples are designed to withstand extreme conditions, including high temperatures, corrosive environments, and mechanical stress. Available in various configurations—such as exposed junctions, grounded or ungrounded probes, and sheathed designs—they can be tailored to suit specific application requirements.
