What Are Common Applications for Thermocouples?
Thermocouples are the most widely used temperature sensors on the planet due to their combination of wide temperature capabilities, ruggedness, and low cost. Thermocouples are used in applications that range from home appliances to industrial processes, to electric power generation, to furnace monitoring and control, to food and beverage processing, to automotive sensors, to aircraft engines, to rockets, satellites and spacecraft.
When it comes to high temperatures, small size, fast response, high vibration or shock, most times you will find thermocouples providing the temperature measurements.
Understanding Thermocouple Accuracy Drift
One constant in industrial processing is that accuracy drift in a measurement device is something to be avoided. For critical applications, where temperature measurements directly influence performance, even a slight drift in the accuracy of a device like a thermocouple can lead to significant issues.
Yet, consumers continuously find that many of the thermocouples out there on the market end up needing to be recalibrated or replaced all together (sometimes after an annoyingly short period of time) due to, you guessed it, accuracy drift.
