6thermocouple thermometer — a combination of a thermocouple with some device for measuring its electromotive force, such as a potentiometer; in use the thermocouple s reference junction is kept at a reference temperature (such as the ice point) and its measuring junction at …
7thermocouple — [1] An electrical temperature sensor. As opposed to a resistance thermometer, the thermocouple operates without an external voltage; it consists basically of two conductors of dissimilar metals, typically copper/constantan, iron/ constantan,… …
8thermocouple — /therr meuh kup euhl/, n. Physics. a device that consists of the junction of two dissimilar metallic conductors, as copper and iron, in which an electromotive force is induced when the conductors are maintained at different temperatures, the… …
9thermocouple — A device for measuring slight changes in temperature, consisting of two wires of different metals, one wire being kept at a certain low temperature, the other in the tissue or other material whose temperature is to be measured; a thermoelectric… …
10thermocouple — A device that converts thermal energy directly into electrical energy. In its basic form, it consists of two dissimilar metallic electrical conductors connected in a closed loop. Each junction forms a thermocouple. If the junctions are at… …
