What is a thermocouple

        Thermocouple is a commonly used temperature measuring element in temperature measuring instruments. It directly measures the temperature and converts the temperature signal into a thermoelectromotive force signal, which is converted into the temperature of the measured medium through an electrical instrument (secondary instrument). The appearance of various thermocouples is often very different due to needs, but their basic structure is roughly the same. They are usually composed of main parts such as thermoelectrodes, insulating sleeve protection tubes and junction boxes, usually with display instruments, recording instruments and electronic adjustments. Used in conjunction with the device.
