Thermocouple consists of two wires, each made of different metal, welded together at one end. When the
welded point(measuring junction) is heated, a thermoelectromotive force is produced that is proportional
of the temperature difference between the welded point and the other end (reference junction).
Therefore, by messuring this thermoelectromotive force either with the reference junction temperature kept
constant or by using an automatic compensation curciut, the measuring junction temperature can be measured.
The thermoelectromotive force of a thermocouple is independent of the diameter or length of the wire used and
depends only on the type of wire used.
Ideal for use in the plastic process industry or in applications where it’s needed: easy installation, easy removal
and quick response time.
These sensors are inexpensive and can be supplied with bayonet fittings for quick and easy installation and with
a threaded spring allowing adjustments to the insertion length.
Main applications: plastic injection molding machines, extruders, shell molding, packaging machinery, etc.
