Thermocouple

Thermocouple is a commonly used temperature measuring component in temperature measuring instruments. It directly measures the temperature and converts the temperature signal into a thermoelectric potential signal, which is converted into the temperature of the measured medium by an electric meter (secondary meter). The shape of various thermocouples is often very different due to needs, but their basic structure is roughly the same, usually composed of hot electrode, insulating sleeve, protection tube, junction box and etc., and often equip with display instrument, recording instrument and electronic regulator, like multiplex temperature meter, black test corner and etc.

According to the seeback effect, when two different metals are connected together, there is a contact voltage between the two contact points, which depends on the temperature. The connection of thermocouple materials is standard, and the different properties of the thermocouple materials determine their different applications.

The technical advantages of thermocouple: 1). thermocouple temperature measurement range is wide, performance is stable; 2). measurement accuracy is high, thermocouple is in direct contact with the object to be tested, and is not affected by intermediate medium; 3). thermal response time is fast, and thermocouple has flexible response to temperature change; 4). The measuring range is large, and the thermocouple can be continuously measured from -40 to + 1600 °C; 5). the thermocouple has reliable performance and good mechanical strength. 6). The service life is long and the device is convenient.

How to conduct the ESD test?

  What is ESD test? Electrostatic discharge immunity test is a basic EMC test . S tandard IEC61000-4-2 provide the immunity requirements and test methods for electrical and electronic equipment subjected to static electricity discharges, from operators directly, and to adjacent objects . T he standard establish a common and reproducible basis for evaluating the performance of electrical and electronic equipment when subjected to electrostatic discharges. Electrostatic discharge is a transfer of electric charge between bodies of different electrostatic potential in proximity or through direct contact. The standard IEC61000-4-2 does not intend to specify the tests to be applied to particular apparatus or system, it is to give a general basic reference to all concerned product .   S o before conduct the test, an appropriate test level should be selected according to the product's characters and its working occasion.   Contact discharge and air discharge methods The test leve...

The relationship between standards IEC62262 and IEC60068-2-75

  The IK code is a coding system to indicate the degree of protection provided by an enclosure against harmful external mechanical impacts. The standard IEC62262 defines the impact energy corresponding to different IK codes. In general, the degree of protection applies to the complete enclosure. If parts of the enclosure have differing degrees of protection, the latter shall be indicated separately.
