Thermocouple temperature sensors are used in many industries, sciences and applications. They can be found in almost all industrial markets: power generation, mining, oil/gas, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, cement, paper, glass, etc. Thermocouple temperature sensors are also used in everyday appliances such as stoves, furnaces, kilns and pizza ovens. Thermocouples are usually chosen because of their low cost, high temperature limitations, wide temperature range, and durability. When choosing the right product, the key lies in the knowledge of research and manufacturers. The correct temperature of any element is critical to the manufacture of all temperature related products
Thermocouple temperature sensors are used to measure temperature. They are electrical devices, consisting of two different electrical conductors, forming an electrical junction. Thermocouples generate temperature related voltages that can be used to measure temperature. Commercial thermocouple temperature sensors are cheap, interchangeable, and equipped with standard connectors to measure various temperatures. Compared with most other temperature measurement methods, thermocouples are self powered and do not require external excitation
How does a thermocouple temperature sensor work? They are devices that measure temperature readings by electrical signals. Thermocouples are made of two metals, and once a temperature change is detected, a voltage or resistance will be generated. In the industrial production process, thermocouples play a key role in maintaining the specific temperature in the equipment. In order to produce these types of content, accurate and responsive temperature and temperature control are critical to ensure that the product is perfect. Temperature is the most common type of physical measurement in industrial applications. Accurate measurements are critical to ensure the success of these processes. There are many applications that are less obvious, using thermocouples. Melt chocolate, use blast furnaces, control hot air balloons, freeze substances in laboratories, run motor vehicles, and burn kilns
Temperature sensors have different forms for different temperature management methods. The sensors are divided into two categories: contact type and non-contact type. The contact thermocouple measures temperature through heat conduction, which requires physical contact between the thermocouple and the measured object to reach the temperature of the measured object. The non-contact type is an infrared sensor, which measures the infrared emission of the temperature level of the object
Thermocouple temperature sensors are widely used in all walks of life. Vialink Electronics has a program to help you determine the products that are most suitable for your processing process. The types and uses of thermocouples are described in detail below
Type B: widely used in iron and steel industry to monitor temperature and chemical reaction in the whole steelmaking process
type: widely used in spacecraft, nuclear reactor, industrial heating or any place where extremely high temperature may exist. It is also used for high pressure studies. It is very suitable for vacuum furnaces at extremely high temperatures
Type E: used for below zero, oxidation, or inert applications. Ideal for cryogenic, pharmaceutical and chemical applications where critical measurements are required in small increments
type: recommended for vacuum, inert gas and reducing gas. Thermocouples may be used exposed or unexposed
type: used to measure many different types of environments, such as water, mild chemical solutions, gases, and dry areas. Suitable for engines, oil heaters and boilers. Used as a thermometer in hospitals and the food industry
