| resistance temperature element | A temperature sensing element that operate on the principle of changes in electrical resistance of pure metals (sintered semiconductor material) and are characterized by an almost linear positive change in resistance with temperature. |
| thermocouple | A pair of electrical conductors of dissimilar materials, joined at one end (the measuring or hot junction), which produces an electromotive force (e.m.f.) due to the Seebeck effect in a circuit formed by connecting the other ends of the dissimilar materials used (the reference or cold junction) to a device for measuring e.m.f. Def. acc. to IEC 902 1987. |
