Thermocouple

A thermocouple consists of two conductors of different materials (usually metal alloys) that produce a voltage in the vicinity of the point where the two conductors are in contact. The voltage produced is dependent on, but not necessarily proportional to, the difference of temperature of the junction to other parts of those conductors. Thermocouples are a widely used type of temperature sensor for measurement and control and can also be used to convert a temperature gradient into electricity. The thermocouple has following advantages: suitable for smoke liquid, gas measurement; fast response: reasonable mechanical strength; screw for easy mounting: made of stainless steel: the probe can be bent to different angle by hand to fit the application requirement; maximum working temperature:400C (750F).
