Thermoelectric Thermometer (Noun)
Meaning
A thermometer that uses thermoelectric current to measure temperature.
Classification
Nouns denoting man-made objects.
Examples
- The thermoelectric thermometer consists of a junction of two dissimilar metals, producing a voltage that is proportional to the temperature difference between them.
- Thermoelectric thermometers have a faster response time and are more rugged compared to traditional thermometers, making them ideal for industrial applications.
- In a thermoelectric thermometer, the voltage generated is directly proportional to the temperature difference between the hot and cold junctions.
- Thermoelectric thermometers can measure temperature accurately in a wide range, from cryogenic temperatures to extremely high temperatures.
- A thermoelectric thermometer's sensitivity can be adjusted by varying the materials used in the thermocouple and the calibration of the instrument.
