Definition of thermo couple in English English dictionary

thermocouple
A transducer consisting of two different metals welded together at each end; a voltage is produced that is proportional to the difference in temperature between the two junctions (one of which is normally held at a known temperature)
thermocouple
A sensor made of two dissimilar metals which, when heated, generate a small DC voltage used in temperature measurements
thermocouple
A temperature sensor created by joining two dissimilar metals This junction creates a small voltage as a function of the temperature
thermocouple
A device consisting of two dissimilar metals in physical contact, which when heated, will develop an emf output
thermocouple
The temperature sensing probe of a pyrometer It's inserted into the kiln chamber to measure temperature
thermocouple
A pair of dissimilar conductors joined to produce a thermoelectric effect and used to accurately determine temperature Thermocouples are used in laboratory testing of motors to determine the internal temperature of the motor winding
thermocouple
A device consisting of two dissimilar metals joined together at both ends The thermoelectric voltage developed between the two junctions is proportional to the temperature difference between the junctions Thus the device is used to measure the temperature at one of the junctions when the other is held at a fixed, known temperature
thermocouple
A device which converts thermal energy directly into electrical energy In its basic form it consists of two dissimilar metallic electrical conductors connected in closed loop Each junction forms a thermocouple See thermopile If the junctions are at different temperatures, an electrical potentials proportional to the temperature difference will exist in the circuit; the value of the potential generated is different for various combinations of materials For meteorological purposes couples of copper and constantan are frequently used; these generate approximately 40 microvolts per degree C of couple temperature difference
thermocouple
A temperature sensor formed by joining two dissimilar metals and applying a temperature differential between the measuring junction and the reference junction
thermocouple
A device for measuring temperatures, consisting of lengths of two dissimilar metals or alloys that are electrically joined at one end and connected to a voltage-measuring instrument at the other end When one junction is hotter than the other, a thermal electromotive force is produced that is roughly proportional to the difference in temperature between the hot and cold junctions
thermocouple
A combination of two dissimilar metals having a junction which can be maintained at the temperature it is desired to measure in terms of thermo-electric current produced
thermocouple
Two dissimilar metals connected at a point, that produce an electrical current whose magnitude is dependent upon the temperature at the junction point
thermocouple
an instrument for measuring temperature, usually constructed of two dissimilar metals joined at one end, or both ends, for producing a thermo-electric current which is transmitted to a scale for direct reading
thermocouple
{i} thermoelectric couple for measuring differences in temperature (Physics)
thermocouple
A thermoelectric couple
thermocouple
A thermocouple as commonly used is made by soldering or fusing two dissimilar metal wires together By connecting the wires to a potentiometer, the temperature at the junction can be determined Copper constant thermocouples are usually used in dry kiln work
thermocouple
Used as temperature sensors within a robot's sensing system Consists of two dissimilar metals that produce an electromotive force roughly proportional to the temperature difference between their hot and cold junction ends
thermocouple
A device made of two unlike metals that generates electricity when there is a difference in temperature from one end to the other Thermocouples have a hot and cold junction
thermocouple
A temperature-sensing element which converts thermal energy directly into electrical energy In its basic form it consists of two dissimilar metallic conductors connected in a closed loop Each junction forms a thermocouple If one thermocouple is maintained at a temperature different from that of the other, an electrical current proportional to this temperature difference will flow in the circuit The value varies with the materials used Couples of copper and constantan, which generate approximately 40 microvolts per °C of couple temperature difference, are often used for meteorological purposes
thermocouple
A device for measuring temperatures by the use of two dissimilar metals in contact; the junction of these metals gives rise to a measurable electrical potential with changes in temperature
thermocouple
The junction of two dissimilar metals which has a voltage output proportional to the difference in temperature between the hot junction and the lead wires (cold junction) (refer to Seebeck emf)
thermocouple
A device used in controlling gas valves consisting of two junctions of dissimilar metals When the two junctions are at different temperatures, a voltage is generated
thermocouple
A temperature sensor created by joining two dissimilar metals The junction produces a small voltage as a function of the temperature Consists of two dissimilar metals joined together, making a continuous loop When one junction has a different temperature from the other an electromotive force (voltage) occurs There are several types of thermocouples, constructed from different metals and with differing temperature ranges
thermocouple
An electrical device used for temperature measurement Two dissimilar metals joined together, making a continuous loop
thermocouple
A pair of dissimilar metals so joined at two points that a voltage is developed when the junctions are at different temperatures
thermocouple
Popular temperature sensor because of its low cost, versatility and ruggedness Consists of two different metals joined together, making a continuous circuit When one junction has a different temperature from the other an electromotive force (voltage) occurs There are several types of thermocouples, constructed from different metals and with differing temperature ranges and accuracies
thermocouple
or thermal junction or thermoelectric thermometer Temperature-measuring instrument consisting of two wires of different metals joined at each end. One junction is placed where the temperature is to be measured, and the other is kept at a constant lower (reference) temperature. A measuring instrument is connected in the electrical circuit. The temperature difference causes the development of an electromotive force that is approximately proportional to the difference between the temperatures of the two junctions. Temperature can be read from standard tables, or the instrument can be calibrated to display temperature directly
thermocouple
a kind of thermometer consisting of two wires of different metals that are joined at both ends; one junction is at the temperature to be measured and the other is held at a fixed lower temperature; the current generated in the circuit is proportional to the temperature difference
thermocouple
A heat-sensing device made of two conductors of different metals joined at their ends An electric current is produced when there is a difference in temperature between the ends
