The earlier blog entry, “That's Not How Thermocouples Work…” garnered many comments and a few writers still referred to the junction as the source of the voltage–which is what most instruments measure ...

The lowly thermocouple is probably the most widely used type of sensor, yet so many people don’t understand how it works. That’s because many descriptions out there get it wrong and that ...

Irvine, CA. AMETEK VTI Instruments has announced the introduction of its latest LXI instrument, the EX1401 precision 16-channel isolated thermocouple and voltage-measurement instrument. The EX1401 ...

Thermocouples are a very common type of device that have been widely utilized as a temperature sensor. Thermocouples are now available in a wide range of models and technical specifications, which ...

Designers face many chal lenges when placing thermal-sensing components in embedded systems. The first comes in choosing the temperature sensor. It is often not obvious whether a thermistor, resistive ...

The digital voltmeter permits the thermocouple voltage to be measured. Conversion tables will permit the thermocouple temperature to be determined in degrees Celsius. The range switch on the voltmeter ...

The OM-DAQ-USB-2401 series USB 2.0 full speed thermocouple/voltage input data acquisition modules are fully compatible with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 ports. The OM-DAQ-USB-2401 series USB 2.0 full ...

If you get tired of charging batteries, you might be interested in [Hackarobot’s] energy harvesting demo. He uses a peltier device (although he’s really using it as a thermocouple which it is). A 1 ...

Temperature is the most widely measured variable in the process industries, and it is often a critical factor in industrial processing. If a temperature measurement is not accurate or reliable, it can ...
