Type K, Type J, Type N the list of thermocouple types seems like an alphabet soup. And as technology improves and manufacturers come up with more options, it can be hard to keep track of all the various names and classifications. This article outlines the 11 most common types of industrial thermocouples.Thermocouplesare one of the most common devices used across industries and applications to measure temperature. These electrical thermometers are made of two wires of dissimilar metals joined together at the measuring point, also known as the hot junction. Due to the two metals differences in electronegativity, changes in temperature at the hot junction generate a voltage difference at the other end of the wires, called the connection point or cold junction. (See this videofor more details about what thermocouples are and how they work.)Types of ThermocouplesWhat differentiates one thermocouple from another is the metals in its two wires: the positive leg and the negative leg.
