- A stick-on thermocouple is a type of temperature sensor that can be affixed to a surface using an adhesive backing. It consists of two dissimilar metal wires, usually made of different alloys, that are joined at one end to form a junction. When the junction is exposed to a temperature gradient, it generates a voltage proportional to the temperature difference. This voltage can be measured and used to determine the temperature at the point where the thermocouple is attached.
- Stick-on thermocouples are often used in industrial settings to monitor the temperature of surfaces that are difficult or impractical to access with other types of sensors. They can be applied to flat or curved surfaces and are commonly used in applications such as heat treating, welding, and metalworking. They are also used in medical settings to monitor the temperature of patients during surgery or other procedures.
- There are several different types of thermocouples, each with its own temperature range and sensitivity. Common types include Type J, Type K, and Type T thermocouples, which are made from different combinations of metals such as iron, copper, and nickel. The selection of a thermocouple type will depend on the specific application and temperature range of interest.
