Knowledge Base

Automation Media's recommended most important key terminologies you need to know if you work in Automation, Controls, Brilliant Manufacturing, Operational & Industrial Intelligence or IoT etc. ; regardless of any vendor(s) you are dealing (Allen Bradley, GE Fanuc, Siemens, Modicon, Mitsubishi, Omron, Automation Direct etc).


Because a Thermocouple Measures in Wide Temperature ranges and can be relatively rugged, thermocouples are very often used in industry.

The following criteria are used in selecting a thermocouple:

  • Temperature Range

  • Chemical Resistance of the Thermocouple or Sheath Material

  • Abrasion and Vibration Resistance

  • Installation requirements (may need to be compatible with existing equipment; existing holes may determine probe diameter)
