Bare lead thermocouple

Description

• The bare lead thermocouple is often used in high-temperature applications where the insulation would melt or degrade. The exposed measuring end allows for a fast response time and accurate temperature measurement. However, the bare lead thermocouple is not suitable for all applications, particularly those where there is a risk of electrical shock or exposure to moisture.
• To use a bare lead thermocouple, the two wires are connected to a temperature meter or controller that measures the voltage generated by the thermocouple. The voltage is then converted into a temperature reading using a mathematical formula or lookup table that correlates voltage with temperature for the specific type of thermocouple used.
