<h2><strong>What is a Thermocouple?</strong></h2><p>A thermocouple is essentially a temperature sensor (a device used for temperature measurement). It is made up of two wires of different metals that, when joined together, create an electrical junction known as a measuring junction.</p><p>When the temperature changes at the junction, it creates a voltage that can be interpreted to read the temperature, also known as the Seebeck effect. You can read more about these tools in our bespoke <a href="https://docs.rs-online.com/96d5/0900766b815e5302.pdf">Thermocouples Guide.</a></p><h3><strong>Types of thermocouples</strong></h3><p>There are a wide range of thermocouple types available, each with different characteristics such as temperature range and their robustness. Each thermocouple is defined by a letter such as K-Type. Common types also include:</p><ul><li>Type J</li><li>Type K</li><li>Type L</li><li>Type T</li></ul><p>The letters refer to the type of materials used which indicates what temperature they are usable at. For example, J-Type is iron and copper-nickel and is useable from around 0&deg;C to 816&deg;C, depending on other characteristics. Some thermocouples come with an additional sheath that insulate the wires to prolong their life.</p><p>Thermocouples are ideal tools for the measurement of high temperatures and are a popular choice and they are a robust, reliable and affordable solution.</p><h3><strong>What are Thermocouples used for?</strong></h3><p>They can be used in many applications, both domestic and industrial. Some examples include:</p><ul><li>Thermostats</li><li>Hospital</li><li>Thermometers</li><li>Vehicle Diagnostics</li><li>Boiler/Heating</li><li>Sensors</li><li>Oven Safety Features</li><li>Food Thermometers</li></ul><p>Browse the broad range of Thermocouples RS have to offer and order today for next day delivery.</p>
