 Product Description
Thermopiles are electronic devices composed of multiple thermocouples connected in series or parallel to increase the output voltage generated from temperature differences. They convert thermal energy into electrical energy, enabling precise temperature measurement and heat flux detection. Thermopiles are widely used in laboratory instruments, infrared sensors, gas analyzers, and thermal imaging equipment due to their sensitivity and ability to measure temperature without direct contact. Their robust construction allows them to operate over a broad temperature range and in harsh environments.
