Thermocouple devices must use the appropriate wire because different wires measure various temperature ranges. Type K is popular because of its wide temperature range. Of the four major thermocouple types, type K covers the widest range from−200°Cto1,260°C(approximately minus 328°F to 2,300...
As an example, the thermocouple in a turbine jet engine measures a wide dynamic range of temperatures (e.g., 0–1000°C), but the minimum resolution of the sensor may only be as low as 50°C (low resolution) while a lab instrument measuring the freezing point of water may have a ...
Additionally, the thermocouple sensor is considered as a mechanical component due to its location is inside of the mechanical base for thermoforming creating tub (see step 3 in Figure 2) and inside of the mechanical base for the thermal adhesion (see step 6 in Figure 2). Both mechanical ...
