Thermoelectric Phenomena
• Electrically conductive materials exhibit three types of
thermoelectric phenomena:
• the Seebeck effect,
• the Thompson effect, and
• the Peltier effect.
• The use of thermocouples is based on thermoelectric
phenomenon discovered by Thomas Seebeck in 1821.
• When any two metals are connected together, a voltage is
developed which is a function of the temperatures of the
junctions and (mainly) the difference in temperatures.
• It was later found that the Seebeck voltage is the sum of two
effects: the Peltier effect, and the Thompson effect.
• The Peltier effect explains a voltage generated in a junction of
two metal wires.
• The Thompson effect explains a voltage generated by the
temperature gradient in the wires.
EMF Relationships for Thermocouples
• Practical exploitation of the Seebeck effect to measure temperature
requires a combination of two wires with dissimilar Seebeck
coefficients.
• The name thermocouple reflects the reality that wires with two
different compositions are combined to form a thermocouple
circuit.

Misconception in Thermoelectricity
The EMF generated by the Seebeck effect is due to the temperature
gradient along the wire.
The EMF is not generated at the junction between two dissimilar wires.

Standard Thermocouples
• The ASTM identifies eight standard types of thermocouples.
Making of Thermocouple Junction
• Any time a pair of dissimilar wires is
joined to make a circuit and a thermal
gradient is imposed, an emf voltage
will be generated.
• Twisted, soldered or welded junctions
are acceptable. Welding is most
common.
• Keep weld bead or solder bead
diameter within 110-115% of wire
diameter
• Welding is generally quicker than
soldering but both are equally
acceptable
