IiThermocouples zomlinganiselo wobushushu ukuya kuthi ga kwi-1,800 °C (3,272 °F)
Ngokuqhelekileyo zisetyenziselwa ukulinganisa ubushushu bolwelo, umphunga, imidiya yegesi, kunye nomphezulu oqinileyo.
Umlinganiselo wobushushu we-thermocouples ufezekiswa ngokulinganisa amandla ayo ombane we-thermoelectrical.Ii-thermodes zayo ezimbini zizinto ezivavanya ubushushu ezenziwe ngabaqhubi abalinganayo abanemixholo emibini eyahlukeneyo kunye nesiphelo esinye esiqhagamshelweyo.Kwi-loop evaliweyo eyenziwe ngeentlobo ezimbini zee-conductors, ukuba ukushisa okuhlukeneyo kuvela kwiindawo ezimbini zokugqibela, ngoko kuya kwenziwa amandla athile e-thermoelectrical.
I-thermoelectrical potential intensity ayihambelani nommandla wecandelo kunye nobude bomqhubi wobhedu kodwa kwiipropati zezinto zomqhubi kunye nobushushu beendawo zabo zokugqibela ezimbini.
