Thermocouple
Thermocouple
THERMOCOUPLE is a junction between two different metals that produces a voltage related to a temperature difference. Thermocouples are a widely used type of temperature sensor for measurement and control and can also be used to convert heat gradient into electricity. They are inexpensive and easy to use and can measure a wide range of temperatures.

HOW TO USE
We
use K type thermocouple. The junction of a K type thermocouple consists of chrome-nickel and aluminum-nickel alloys. It has a temperature range from minus-200 degrees to 1,350 degrees Celsius, with a sensitivity of about 41 microvolts per degree.
Acquire
a handheld multimeter that can accept K type thermocouples. Plug the thermocouple into the handheld multimeter. Look for two flat slots on the multimeter for the thermocouple connector. Turn the dial of the multimeter to either degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit, depending on your preference. The display should show the temperature of the room you are in.
