Thermocouple Type K

Electric thermometers transfer the physical temperature value into a temperature dependent signal. They are closed constructive components delivering output signals for further treatment. In most cases, auxiliary energy sources are necessary dependent on on the sensor type. The good transmission of those electrical signals over far distances offer a great advantage. The reception of the measured value and the reading place of the temperature can be far away from each other. The measuring signals can easily be integrated and treated in control or process control systems with small effort.

Thermocouples transfer heat with the help of thermoelectricity into electrical energy. It is a component that consists of two different metal conductors that are connected with each other at one end. A temperature difference produces a thermal flow and a thermoelectric voltage.
