Thermocouple<br />

General description: Thomas Seebeck discovered in 1821 that when two wires composed of<br />

dissimilar metals are joined at both ends and one of the ends is heated, there is a continuous<br />

current which flows in the thermoelectric circuit. (Seebeck effect). The junctions can be exposed,<br />

grounded or ungrounded. The thermocouple is normally directly connected to a standard<br />

temperature controller. Thermocouples are among the easiest temperature sensors used in<br />

science and industry and very cost effective. (usually less than $50.00)<br />
