Type K Thermocouple (1M) for Industrial Equipment Business
The Type K Thermocouple (1M) is a high-quality, industrial-grade temperature measurement component designed for use in demanding environments. It is a crucial component in various industrial equipment applications, providing accurate and reliable temperature measurement data.
The Type K Thermocouple (1M) is a thermoelectric sensor that converts temperature into an electrical signal. It consists of two dissimilar metal wires (chromel and alumel) joined at one end, creating a junction. When there is a temperature difference between the junction and the free ends of the wires, a small voltage is generated. This voltage is directly proportional to the temperature difference, allowing for accurate temperature measurement.

#include <Thermocouple.h>// Define the thermocouple pin connections
const int thermocouple_pin = A0;void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
}void loop() {
// Read the thermocouple voltage
int voltage = analogRead(thermocouple_pin);// Convert the voltage to temperature (using the Type K thermocouple characteristics)
float temperature = thermocouple_voltage_to_temperature(voltage);// Print the temperature to the serial console
Serial.print("Temperature: ");
Serial.print(temperature);
Serial.println(" C");delay(1000);
}float thermocouple_voltage_to_temperature(int voltage) {
// This function converts the thermocouple voltage to temperature using the Type K thermocouple characteristics
// You can use a thermocouple library or implement the conversion manually
// For simplicity, we'll use a linear approximation here
return (voltage 5.0 / 1024.0 - 1.5) 100.0;
}
```Example 2: Python Code using PySerial and datetimeThis example demonstrates how to use the Type K Thermocouple (1M) with a Python script to log temperature readings to a CSV file.```python
import serial
import datetime# Open the serial connection to the thermocouple
ser = serial.Serial('COM3', 9600, timeout=1)# Set up the CSV file for logging
log_file = open('temperature_log.csv', 'w')
log_file.write('Date,Time,Temperature (C)
')while True:
# Read the thermocouple voltage
voltage = int(ser.readline().decode().strip())# Convert the voltage to temperature (using the Type K thermocouple characteristics)
temperature = (voltage 5.0 / 1024.0 - 1.5) 100.0# Get the current date and time
now = datetime.datetime.now()# Log the data to the CSV file
log_file.write('{}, {}, {}
'.format(now.strftime('%Y-%m-%d'), now.strftime('%H:%M:%S'), temperature))# Print the temperature to the console
print('Temperature: {} C'.format(temperature))# Wait 1 second before taking the next reading
time.sleep(1)
```Example 3: Raspberry Pi with Python and RPi.GPIOThis example demonstrates how to use the Type K Thermocouple (1M) with a Raspberry Pi board to measure temperature and control an LED indicator based on the temperature reading.```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time# Set up the GPIO pin for the LED indicator
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(17, GPIO.OUT)# Set up the ADC converter for the thermocouple voltage
import Adafruit_ADS1x15adc = Adafruit_ADS1x15.ADS1115()while True:
# Read the thermocouple voltage from the ADC converter
voltage = adc.read_adc(0, gain=1)# Convert the voltage to temperature (using the Type K thermocouple characteristics)
temperature = (voltage 5.0 / 32767.0 - 1.5) 100.0# Control the LED indicator based on the temperature
if temperature > 50.0:
GPIO.output(17, GPIO.HIGH)
else:
GPIO.output(17, GPIO.LOW)# Print the temperature to the console
print('Temperature: {} C'.format(temperature))# Wait 1 second before taking the next reading
time.sleep(1)
