An experiment was done

To obtain DMM thermocouple, RTD, Reference thermometer, water in kettle.

A kettle was filled with water and it was measured the thermoelectric voltage output of the thermocouple then it was increased the temperature of the kettle until 100 Celsius and finally, it was measured the output of the thermocouple for 10 Celsius. Celsius. Increments.

Final answer:

When selecting a thermocouple sensor, consider the temperature range, accuracy, response time, and protection required for your application.

Step-by-step explanation:

When selecting a thermocouple sensor based on your application, there are several specifications to consider:

  1. Temperature range: Choose a thermocouple that can measure the temperature range required for your application. Different thermocouples have different temperature ranges, so it's important to select one that can handle the temperatures you need.
  2. Accuracy: Consider the level of accuracy required for your application. Some thermocouples have higher accuracy than others, so choose one that meets your accuracy needs.
  3. Response time: If your application requires fast temperature sensing, choose a thermocouple that has a fast response time.
  4. Protection: Depending on the environment and conditions in which the thermocouple will be used, you may need to consider options for protection such as a sheathed thermocouple or a thermowell.
