THERMOCOUPLE CABLES
THERMOELECTRICITY
When a metallic conductor is exposed to a difference of temperature between the two extremities, an
electromotive force (emf) is generated by the temperature gradient, which causes a redistribution of the
electrons through the conductor. The EMF value depends on the material and the temperature gradient.
Let’s consider two materials, generically denominated A and B, exposed to the same difference of
temperature between their extremities. In each one an electromotive force will result. The EMF value
depends on the type of material and the temperature gradient. In case of a homogeneous material the EMF
value depends solely on the difference of temperature between the extremities.
The phenomenon described above is fundamental to understand the thermoelectricity and its applications to
measurement of temperature it’s called See beck Effect, which is what creates the sensor known as
thermocouple or thermoelectric couple. Elements A and B that make up a thermocouple are denominated
Thermo elements.
In the configuration of a thermocouple, the extremity at which the thermo elements are joined is called
Measuring (or hot) Junction. If the temperature of the Reference (or cold) Junction, the other extremity, is
fixed at 0°C, then the EMF value will depend solely on the temperature of the Measuring (or hot) Junction.
Extension cables comprise conductors with the same nominal composition as the corresponding
thermocouple; compensating cables comprise conductors with different nominal composition but same
temperature – EMF characteristics as the corresponding thermocouple.
