The hot junction, also known as the measuring junction, is connected to the body whose temperature is going to be measured, while the cold junction or reference junction is connected to a body of known temperature. When the measuring junction is placed on something hot a voltage or potential difference between this and the reference junction occurs. This voltage can then be converted into a temperature measurement using thermocouple reference tables. This process is also known as the Seebeck Effect._x000D_ What is a Surface Thermocouple?_x000D_ This thermocouple is designed for measuring the temperature on a surface. Most thermocouples have a sensing tip where there ends of the thermocouple wires are encased in sheaths or protection tubes which do not allow for measuring the temperature of a surface area. In surface temperature sensing thermocouples, the exposed welded wire junction is housed in a magnet, adhesive patch, washer or bolt which provides a true surface contact. These thermocouple sensors are easy to install and use, the washer at the end of the sensor is simply positioned under a bolt or a rivet_x000D_ Why RS PRO?_x000D_ RS PRO is our own brand range and brings you a wide range of high-quality, great value products offering you more choice.
