Understanding Thermocouples: Types & Uses by Mustafa Hidayet is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Thermocouples measure temperature by detecting the voltage generated between two different metals joined together. The amount of voltage depends on the metals used and the temperature difference between the junction exposed to heat and a reference junction at a known temperature. Common thermocouple types include types K and J, which use combinations of nickel, chromium, iron, copper, and other metals. Thermocouples come in different constructions and are insulated and jacketed depending on the application
