1102 - Wireless Thermocouple Sensor

The Smart Wireless Thermocouple Sensor can be used to investigate a number of scientific experiments such as:

• Discovering how the temperature inside a Bunsen flame varies.
• Comparing the temperature at which different candles burn (test out variables and whether they affect temperature e.g. colour, diameter of candle, scented vs. unscented)
• Which part of a candle flame is hottest?
• Investigating whether the variety of wax used to make a candle affects the rate of combustion and luminosity
• Discovering at what temperature popcorn pops – evaluating poppers and varieties of popping corn
• Using melting point to Identify a solid e.g. bismuth, aluminium, zinc, tin, lead, etc. The solids known melting point should be less than 1,200 ̊C.
• Temperature of dry ice or liquid air
• Estimation of absolute zero
• Any temperature investigation that requires high accuracy over the entire range
• The K-Type thermocouple is not suitable for rapid temperature change work
