Copper Constantan Thermocouple Experiment

It is found in other laboratory environments as well.

Copper constantan thermocouple experiment.

This consists of iron and constantan metals and is commonly used in inert oxidizing vacuum or reducing atmospheres as compared to constantan the iron element in this types of thermocouple wire oxidizes faster at temperatures higher than 1000 degrees fahrenheit. Range of temperatures from 270 with to 400 with. Type k thermocouple consisting of chromel and alumel alloys it is also used in. Type j thermocouples are used in heat treating applications.

Uses tend to be restricted to ac circuits. Constantan is also the negative element of the type j thermocouple with iron being the positive. Experiments with a thermoelectric generator with data logger. Type t thermocouple copper constantan.

The type t is a very stable thermocouple and is often used in extremely low temperature applications such as cryogenics or ultra low freezers. Also it is the negative element of the type t thermocouple with ofhc copper the positive. The type t has excellent repeatability between 380f to 392f 200c to 200c. Type t thermocouples are used at cryogenic temperatures.
