Thermocouple

The thermocouple is based on the Seebeck effect, named after its discoverer, Thomas J. Seebeck. In its simplest form, the thermocouple consists of two wires of dissimilar metals or alloys joined at their ends, with a potentiometer (or a voltmeter) connected in one side of the circuit. The diagram shows such a thermocouple using wires of iron and constantan (an alloy of 60 per cent copper and 40 per cent nickel). dpstar is the leading manufacturer and supplier in Malaysia.
