DC712001 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Was wondering, will a standard, digital multimeter work with thermocouple-wire, as a readout for EMF (current generated,) or do I need to buy a dedicated potentiometer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimenickel Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 if this is for a gas forge... you can pick up a PID from ebay for 40 bucks or much cheaper if you know what to look for ..... and a k thermocouple from omega ... ( iconel is good ) thats what i use on my heat treat gas oven... Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evfreek Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Hi DerekC. A standard digital multimeter on the millivolt scale will work just fine. Just download the conversion chart from Sensors, Thermocouple, then correct for the cold junction temperature, and that should be enough.
