THERMOCOUPLE • Invented by Thomas Johann Seebeck in 1821 • Converts Thermal Potential Difference to Electrical Potential Difference
OPERATION • When two dissimilar metals are joined at both ends and one end is heated, there is a continuous current which flows through the circuit. Metal A X Y Metal B Seeback Voltage eAB = αΔT

LENGTH & DIAMETERS • Standard Lengths • 6” • 12” • 18” • 24” • Custom • Standard Diameters • 0.010” • 0.020” • 0.032” • 0.040” • 0.062” (1/16”) • 0.125” (1/8”) • 0.1875” (3/16”) • 0.25” (1/4”)
JUNCTION • Grounded • Ungrounded • Exposed
COLD JUNCTION COMPENSATION (CJC) • In order to get accurate temperature, the reference junction should be at 32oF (0oC). • If the temperature at X is desired, temperature at Y should be 32oF to get accurate ΔT. Metal A X Y Metal B Seeback Voltage eAB = αΔT
CJC CORRECTION • Placing junction at 32oF • Hardware Correction • Software Correction X Y
