A comparison of the thermal emf of Platinel II with that of Chromel-Alumel is shown. The two thermocouples develop identical emfs at 32, 1300, and 2225 °F. Between 1000 and 2500 °F the maximum indicated difference is only 18 °F when the Chromel-Alumel reference table is used. Author: Olsen: Software used: Adobe Acrobat 9.0: Conversion program
The company was founded in 1962 by Betty Hollander at her kitchen table while she was raising four children. [1] [9] OMEGA began as a thermocouple manufacturer but slowly transitioned to other types of instrumentation. Today, OMEGA manufactures and sells devices that measure everything from temperature to pH. [10]

If process temperatures are between −200 and 500 °C (−328.0 and 932.0 °F), an industrial RTD is the preferred option. Thermocouples have a range of −180 to 2,320 °C (−292.0 to 4,208.0 °F), [9] so for temperatures above 500 °C (932 °F) it is the contact temperature measurement device commonly found in physics laboratories.

A thermocouple, also known as a "thermoelectrical thermometer", is an electrical device consisting of two dissimilar electrical conductors forming an electrical junction.A thermocouple produces a temperature-dependent voltage as a result of the Seebeck effect, and this voltage can be interpreted to measure temperature.
In thermocouples the Seebeck effect is used to measure temperatures, and for accuracy it is desirable to use materials with a Seebeck coefficient that is stable over time. Physically, the magnitude and sign of the Seebeck coefficient can be approximately understood as being given by the entropy per unit charge carried by electrical currents in ...
The 3ω-method (3 omega method) or 3ω-technique, is a measurement method for determining the thermal conductivities of bulk material (i.e. solid or liquid) and thin layers. The process involves a metal heater applied to the sample that is heated periodically.
