Do you need to use TC extension wire to connect a thermocouple or can you use shielded cable?
You must use thermocouple wire (of the same type as the thermocouple) to extend the circuit. If you switch to a different wire the point of connection between the two becomes a thermocouple junction itself, and the resulting voltage from that junction will skew your reading. You can use any wire to extend a thermocouple connection if you know the temperature of the junction where the thermocouple wire ends--this becomes the reference junction.
Which type of temperature senseing instrument you use in industry?
for temperature sensing i will suggest a RTD or A THermocouple. for temperature sensing i will suggest a RTD or A THermocouple.
How do you use an instrumentation amplifier as a temperature indicator?
You use a thermocouple as the input to the amplifier circuit.
Is thermocouple output linear?
The output of the thermocouple is linear.
What instrument makes a continuous automatic temperature record?
thermopile
Is thermocouple voltage used for battery charging?
No, as the voltage of a single thermocouple is very low , you need a thermopile (thermocouples connected together) and a circuit to get a readable voltage at the other end.
Why have both a thermopile and thermocouple?
A thermopile generates electricity from the heat of a pilot light. It generates about 750 mV that turns on the main gas valve to the fireplace.A thermocouple is heated by the pilot light but it uses pressure to hold the pilot light gas supply valve open. When the thermocouple is heated, pressure increases holding open the main gas valve. If it cools down, the pressure goes down and closes the gas valve.
What is the use of thermopile?
to detect radiation
What type of colour are use to paint thermocouple?
You should not paint a thermocouple.
Which materials could you use to create a thermocouple?
To create a thermocouple one needs thermocouple wire, a means of spot welding the wire, and wire strippers. A thermocouple is used to measure temperature.

What do you use a THermocouple for?
measuring temperature difference
How do you measure the temperature of a furnace?
You could use a thermocouple.
How millivolt switch works?
I am assuming that you mean switching a millivolt gas value. The switch applies a voltage to the gas valve thus allowing gas to flow. The voltage is provided by a thermopile. This device transforms the heat from the pilot into a voltage that can be used to control the valve. This system does not require an external voltage source. It does require the pilot to continuously operate. A thermopile consists of a number of thermocouples that are wired in series. This allows an increase in the voltage that would be provided by a single thermocouple.

What kitchen utensil is used for measuring temperature?
you use a thermocouple instrument
How do you install a thermocouple for a gas water heater?
Most thermocouples are held in place at the pilot light by pushing them into a clip that grabs it on both sides. The control end is held in place by a nut that the shaft of the thermocouple goes through.
