What is the sensitivity of thermocouple?

The sensitivity of a thermocouple refers to its ability to produce a measurable voltage change in response to a change in temperature. This sensitivity is influenced by the type of thermocouple, as different materials yield different voltage outputs per degree of temperature change, often expressed in millivolts per degree Celsius. Generally, thermocouples are designed to provide a linear response over a specific temperature range, making them suitable for various applications in temperature measurement. Sensitivity can also be affected by factors such as the thermocouple's material composition, junction construction, and the surrounding environment.
