Termopaarsensoritel

Termopaarsensoritel refers to thermocouple sensors, devices that measure temperature by converting a temperature difference into an electrical voltage through the thermoelectric Seebeck effect. A thermocouple consists of two dissimilar metal wires joined at one end (the measurement junction). When this junction is at a different temperature than the other ends, a small voltage is produced, which is proportional to the temperature difference. The temperature at the reference end is typically established by a well-defined reference junction, often with cold-junction compensation integrated into the measurement equipment.

The output of a thermocouple is a low-level millivoltage that depends on the metal types used. Standard thermocouples come in several well-known types, such as K, J, T, E, N, S, R and B, each with different metal combinations, temperature ranges, and sensitivities. Because the voltage corresponds to a difference rather than an absolute temperature, proper calibration and cold-junction compensation are essential for accurate measurements.

Applications of termopaarsensoritel are widespread in industry and research. They are favored for their wide operating temperature ranges, ruggedness, and simple construction, making them suitable for high-temperature furnaces, engines, turbines, welding, and process control. They are often used in harsh environments where other sensors, like RTDs or thermistors, may be less practical.

Limitations include nonlinearity across the temperature range, drift over time, and sensitivity to lead wiring and junction contamination. Accurate measurements require appropriate type selection, calibration, and compatible signal conditioning equipment.
