Electric temperature-measuring device
consisting of a circuit having two wires made
of different metals welded together at their
ends. A current flows in the circuit when the
two junctions are maintained at different
temperatures (Seebeck effect). The
electromotive force generated - measured by a
millivoltmeter - is proportional to the
temperature difference.
