Description
The product is an Arduino shield that can be used to connect up to 8 thermocouples. It has a Cold Junction Compensated Output, and can support K, J, N, S, T, E, or R type thermocouples. It has a 0.1 (2.54mm) pitch screw terminals for thermocouple connection, and has a 14-bit 0.25C resolution. It also has a nominal 2C accuracy.
Uses:
Automotive Engine, Exhaust and Brake temperatures are higher than most temperature sensors can handle, but within the range of Thermocouples.
Ovens, Furnaces and Kilns At temperatures where other temperature sensors will not operate.
Freezer or Cryogenic monitoring Where temperatures are well below 0C.
Chemical Processes Where corrosive chemicals may damage probes or reach high temperatures thermocouples are more readily available for such processes.
Multi-Zone Temperature Monitoring, Data Acquisition or Logging Systems With cheap readily available thermocouples.
