DESCRIPTION: The thermocouple is a simple, reliable and precise element consisting of a pair of conductors of dissimilar materials that together generate an electromotive force proportional to the temperature. The characteristic of electromotive force/temperature of a thermocouple depends both on the construction materials of its conductors and on the temperature to which the element is subjected.
Denomination
Temperature sensor element by electromotive force.
Characteristics
Elements with mineral insulation in magnesium oxide (MgO) extruded together with its sheath, in different stainless steels and special alloys.
