What causes the pilot light on a water heater to go out?
The pilot light on a water heater can go out due to a variety of reasons, such as a malfunctioning thermocouple, a dirty or clogged pilot orifice, a draft in the area, or a gas supply issue.
What causes a gas hot water pilot lite to go out?
No, that is part of the function of the pilot light. To light the burner and to keep the gas valve open. The thermocouple sits in the flame of the pilot and produces a small electrical current that keep the gas valve open. When the tank cools down, the thermostat opens the valve to the burner so that it can light. When the pilot goes out, it is usually the thermocouple that is bad.
Is thermocouple output linear?
The output of the thermocouple is linear.
New thermocouple pilot still going out why?
Control valves do go bad, but not that often. The tip of the thermocouple is in the flame? Holding the pilot button down long enough for it to heat? Sometimes the first time you light it, it takes a little longer for the thermocouple to work. Good clean connection on the valve end of the thermocouple? That's all I can come up with at the moment.
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.
Is thermocouple used in fridges?
Yes, thermocouple is used in fridges !
Why does the pilot light in your furnace go out?

Is a thermocouple an active or passive transducer-why?
is a thermocouple an active or passive transducer?-why?

The thermocouple keeps a gas pilot light burning.
What type of colour are use to paint thermocouple?
You should not paint a thermocouple.
Why does your gas water heater flame go out as soon as it lights. My pilot stays lit. Is this a bad T-Stat or gas valve?
sounds like you have a bad thermocouple. The thermocouple senses the pilot flame and produces voltage to tell main flame to light. Thermocouple can be bought at any hardware store.
