A Thermocouple is a terrific way to measure temperature. The effects of temperature change on dissimilar metals produces a measurable voltage. But to make that measurement you need an amplifier ...

It works by converting thermal gradients into electrical potential difference—a phenomenon known as the Seebeck effect. A thermocouple is made of two wires with dissimilar metals joined together at ...

These high-temperature applications are found in the metal processing, power, refining, and other industries. In this measurement range, the sensor type will usually be a thermocouple, and selecting ...

In order to make his thermocouples [Illya] needed to weld the two metals together, and knocked together a quick welding rig using a PC power supply and graphite electrode from a powertool.
