There are many types of thermocouples, Themocouples may also be connected in series to make a "thermopile"
The most common thermocouple types are:
Type K (chromel{90 percent nickel and 10 percent chromium}-alumel)(Alumel consisting of 95% nickel, 2% manganese, 2% aluminum and 1% silicon) is the most common general purpose thermocouple with a sensitivity of approximately 41 µV/°C, chromel positive relative to alumel.[7] One of the constituent metals, nickel, is magnetic; a characteristic of thermocouples made with magnetic material is that they undergo a step change in output when the magnetic material reaches its Curie point (around 354 °C for type K thermocouples).
Type E (chromel-constantan)[5] has a high output (68 µV/°C) which makes it well suited to cryogenic use. Additionally, it is non-magnetic.
Type J (iron-constantan) has a more restricted range than type K (−40 to +750 °C), but higher sensitivity of about 55 µV/°C.[2] The Curie point of the iron (770 °C)[8] causes an abrupt change in the characteristic, which determines the upper temperature limit.
Type N (Nicrosil-Nisil) (Nickel-Chromium-Silicon/Nickel-Silicon) thermocouples are suitable for use at high temperatures, exceeding 1200 °C, due to their stability and ability to resist high temperature oxidation. Sensitivity is about 39 µV/°C at 900 °C, slightly lower than type K. Designed to be an improved type K, it is becoming more popular.
What else can I help you with?
When does a thermocouple produce electricity?
When there is a heat differential between its ends
Does a thermocouple produce constant current or will it just give a single electric pulse when a const temp diff is maintained betw its terminals?
The thermocouple is normally regarded as a high-impedance voltage source. As such, the voltage across it due to temperature is sensed, and processed by an amplifier stage that doesn't rely on it to supply appreciable current. You should think of it as a constant voltage source with a high internal resistance.
How many current produced in photocell?
The amount of current produced in a photocell depends on the intensity of light that hits the cell. Higher light intensity will generate more current, while lower light intensity will generate less current. The current produced is generally in the range of microamps to milliamps.
What will be the effect on heat produced the when the current flowing through a conductor is doubled keeping other factors constant?
The heat produced in the conductor will increase four times when the current is doubled, as heat produced is directly proportional to the square of the current according to Joule's Law.
What type of current is produced in a electric battery?
Direct current (DC) is produced by an electric battery. This type of current flows consistently in one direction from the positive terminal to the negative terminal of the battery.
What is maximum voltage produced in thermocouple?
A:The best platinum thermocouple can give upto 64mv
How can one measure the current produced by a Thermocuple?
The current produced depends on what else it's connected to. If the ends of the thermocouple aren't connected to some kind of circuit, then no current flows. Once current is flowing, it can be measured in the normal way, by a series ammeter (milliameter, microammeter). But thermocouples are not typically applied as current sources. They're typically used as voltage sources, since their effective internal impedance is so high, which is just another way of saying that if you try to get any current out of your thermocouple, its entire activity will instantly dribble away to nothing.
How does a thermocouple pilot light work in a gas appliance?
A thermocouple pilot light works by generating a small electric current when heated by the pilot flame in a gas appliance. This current keeps a valve open to allow gas to flow, maintaining the pilot light. If the pilot light goes out, the thermocouple cools down, causing the valve to close and prevent gas leaks.
When does a thermocouple produce electricity?
When there is a heat differential between its ends
Is thermocouple output linear?
The output of the thermocouple is linear.
Is thermocouple used in fridges?
Yes, thermocouple is used in fridges !
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.
Does a thermocouple produce constant current or will it just give a single electric pulse when a const temp diff is maintained betw its terminals?
The thermocouple is normally regarded as a high-impedance voltage source.

What is the max level for Grandchase?
The current max level for Grand Chase is 80.

What type of colour are use to paint thermocouple?
You should not paint a thermocouple.
