A thermocouple consists of an electrical circuit formed by two dissimilar metal conductors soldered at one end. A difference in temperature between the two junctions produces an electromotive force as a result of the Seebeck effect. The polarisation and the strength of this electromotive force depends on the properties of the two metals and the temperature to which the hot junction and reference junction are subjected: hot junction: the junction exposed to the temperature to be measured cold or reference junction: the junction between the conductors of the thermocouple and the measurement circuit.

Protective ceramic sheaths ensure durability and efficiency over time for applications with high temperatures. Although they do not perform as well from a mechanical point of view, ceramic sheathed thermocouples provide a greater level of impermeability and protection for the temperature sensing element, including through the selection of one or more ceramic sheaths of different compositions.
