The working principle of a thermocouple is that two conductors with different compositions are welded at both ends to form a circuit. The temperature measuring end is called the measuring end, and the wiring terminal end is called the reference end. When there is a temperature difference between the measuring end and the reference end, a thermoelectric potential will be generated in the circuit. When connected to a display instrument, the instrument will indicate the corresponding temperature value of the thermoelectric potential generated by the thermocouple. The thermoelectric potential of a thermocouple will increase as the temperature at the measuring end rises. The magnitude of the thermoelectric potential is only related to the material of the thermocouple conductor and the temperature difference at both ends, and is independent of the length and diameter of the thermoelectric electrode.
Prefabricated thermocouples are mainly composed of a junction box, protective tube, insulating sleeve, terminal block, and thermoelectric electrode, and are equipped with various installation and fixing devices.
