In contrast to the non-contact temperature measurement (infrared (IR) thermometer) the sensor needs to be in contact with the object to be measured. The sensor has to be in thermal equilibrium with the measured object. For this purpose it will either move towards energy gain or energy loss. The sensor should have a very small thermal mass. It needs some time to adjust to this equilibrium <bib id="Bernhard:2003"/>. | In contrast to the non-contact temperature measurement (infrared (IR) thermometer) the sensor needs to be in contact with the object to be measured.

By combining different metals or alloys, a series of sensors for a very high temperature range are made possible. For thermocouples the IEC standard 584 applies. Most common is type K. | By combining different metals or alloys, a series of sensors for a very high temperature range are made possible. For thermocouples the IEC standard 584 applies.

The principle of the Bimetal thermometer <ref>http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bimetallthermometer&oldid=75332920 gelesen 28.07.2010</ref> is based on the difference in thermal expansion behavior of two metals that are soldered together. When temperature rises, the bimetal strips bend in proportion to the temperature increase. After calibration the movement of the metal must be transferred to a needle and scale for displaying the temperature measurement. | The principle of the Bimetal thermometer <ref>http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bimetallthermometer&oldid=75332920 gelesen 28.07.2010</ref> is based on the difference in thermal expansion behavior of two metals that are soldered together.
