Can copper wire be used for thermocouple extention?
No. A thermocouple is made from two dissimilar wires. At the junction of these two wires, an electrical signal is generated that is measured in millivolts. If you insert another type of wire, such as copper, then you have introduced another electrical junction. Your signal will be (millivolt from junction 1 + millivolt from junction 2). <><><> Maybe. A thermocouple measures the temperature difference between the sensing junction (where the two different metal wires meet) and the other end of the wire, the reference junction. If you extend a thermocouple with copper wire, you will measure the temperature difference between the junction and the location where the copper extension is spliced on. If the copper splice is the same temperature as the reference junction, or if you can measure the temperature at the splice, then it will be fine. In general, it is better to run the thermocouple wire to the reference junction.
Does a thermocouple have to touch at the tip or sides to operate correctly?
All thermocouples (whether type J, type K, type T, etc.) measure the difference in temperature between the Tip (junction between two different metals), and the other end of the thermocouple wire, often referred to as the "cold junction." There must be two such junctions somewhere for the thermocouple to operate correctly; typically the measurement junction is at the tip. To measure the temperature of some thing, try to put that junction as close as possible to that thing. However, since the thermocouple is metallic and the measurement relies on detecting tiny voltages, connecting the tip electrically to a metallic surface could affect the measurement. For that reason thermocouples often have insulated tips.
What is fine wire in lamp?
pokemon platinum uses it
Why is important to use platinum wire into glass rods for flame?
This is because glass and platinum have nearly the same coefficient of linear expansion.when the rod is cooled they both contract equally.if wire of some other material isused either the rod will crack or thewire will become loose due to unequal contraction.
What type of conductors shall be used for wiring on fixture chains?
The type of wire you are looking for is called lamp cord. It comes in different colours usually to match the fixture. Fixtures hanging from chains use a clear insulation so as to blend in with the fixture chain colour. Remember that the smooth wire of the lamp cord connects to the hot wire and the ribbed wire on the lamp cord connects to the neutral wire in the ceiling junction box.
How much platinum in thermocouple wire?
200-300$ a pop <><><> A thermocouple is just two wires of different metals, joined at one end. If you know the wire materials for the type thermocouple you want, you can weld the tips together so the cost is in the wire. Fancier store-bought thermocouples can have color-coded wire, insulated junctions and other features that add to the price.
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 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 is platinum thermometer?
It is a thermometer using the platinum wire as sensor (resistance thermometer); the resistance of the wire is proportional to the temperature. This type of thermometer is used under 600 0C.

How do you splice thermocouple wire?
One splice that would work is a western splice.
What is the best wire that is used in rings?
If your ring is gold and you gold wire and if your ring is platinum ring then using platinum wire...
Why is platinum used to make wire?
all that I know is that jewelry, weapons and battle armor contain platinum. The catalytic converters on cars contain platinum also.
Is platinum wire a element?
Platinum is a chemical element.
Can you use b type thermocouple extension wire for a s type thermocouple?
No If you want to maintain reasonable accuracy you must use the correct type of compensating or extension cable to match the sensor. The accuracy of the system depends on all system components. The output is generated when the wires are in thermal gradients, so if there is any thermal gradient across the compensating/extension cable you will get errors if you do not use the correct type www.peaksensors.co.uk
Do automotive sensors have platinum?
The MAF sensor has a tiny platinum wire in it.
Why is it necessary to clean the platinum wire between flame tests?
because platinum wire loops dont impart any color of it own.... NICHROME wire are also used..
