Thermocouples are essential tools in temperature measurement, especially in industries where precision is tied directly to safety, efficiency, or product quality. Sectors like aerospace, power generation, metal processing, and heat treatment rely on accurate thermal data to maintain critical process parameters. At a glance, [...]

K type thermocouples are the most widely used temperature sensors in industrial applications, trusted for their versatility, durability, and cost-effectiveness. At Cleveland Electric Laboratories, we've been manufacturing precision K type thermocouples for over 100 years, providing critical temperature measurement solutions across aerospace, power generation, [...]

Electric vehicles (EVs) run on high-voltage battery systems that generate heat—especially during charging, acceleration, or extreme weather. Managing that heat is not just about performance; it’s critical for safety. Without accurate temperature monitoring, battery packs can overheat, reducing efficiency, shortening battery life, or—rarely—triggering thermal [...]

When selecting the right temperature sensor for industrial applications, understanding the fundamental differences between J type and K type thermocouples is critical for optimal performance and safety. At Cleveland Electric Laboratories, we've been manufacturing precision thermocouples for over 100 years, helping engineers achieve accurate temperature [...]

A thermocouple is a temperature-sensing device widely used in industrial and scientific applications. It consists of two dissimilar metal wires joined at one end to form a junction. When this junction experiences a temperature change, it generates a voltage that correlates to the temperature [...]

A thermocouple is a temperature sensor made from two different metal wires joined at one end. When this junction is exposed to heat, it generates a small voltage that correlates with temperature. Used across industries from aerospace to manufacturing, thermocouples are valued for their simplicity, [...]

A thermocouple functions by leveraging the Seebeck effect, where two different metals joined together to create a voltage when subjected to varying temperatures. This generated voltage directly corresponds to the temperature difference between the heated (measuring) junction and the cooler (reference) end, allowing thermocouples [...]

A thermocouple is a temperature-sensing device that operates on the principle of converting temperature differences into electrical voltage. This simple yet powerful tool consists of two wires made from different metals, joined at one end to form a junction. When this junction experiences a [...]

Thermocouples generate voltage through the Seebeck effect, a principle where a temperature difference between two dissimilar metals produces an electromotive force (EMF). This voltage is proportional to the temperature gradient, making thermocouples reliable for industrial and scientific temperature measurements. A thermocouple consists of two [...]

William Nash and Eric Yeager – Cleveland Electric Labs; Twinsburg, Ohio As a designer and manufacturer of thermocouples, the most commonly asked question we receive is: How long should my thermocouple last? Unfortunately, the answer to this question is quite complex and is dependent [...]
