A thermocouple is a sensor used for measuring temperatures and is comprised of two dissimilar metals joined together at a single end. This device can appear in a few different forms, but generally looks like a wire with a tip that houses the metal junction.
No, it can look perfectly fine and be defective.
The output of the thermocouple is linear.
Yes, thermocouple is used in fridges !
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.
Thermocouple transmitters are available to purchase on-line from a variety of stores. The best places to look are engineering or industrial supply stores and of course you are likely to find them on the popular auction sites.
The thermocouple keeps a gas pilot light burning.
is a thermocouple an active or passive transducer?-why?
You should not paint a thermocouple.
not much, but it will depend on the type of thermocouple
Yes, it's an active transducer. A thermocouple is passive not active
The thermocouple is a sensore used to measure temperature. The thermocouple are made with two wires of different metals. joined together at one end to from a junction the thermocouple outputs in a a Milli volts .
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.
