No. A thermocouple is made from two dissimilar wires. At the junction of these two wires, an electrical signal is generated that is measured in millivolts. If you insert another type of wire, such as copper, then you have introduced another electrical junction. Your signal will be (millivolt from junction 1 + millivolt from junction 2).

Maybe. A thermocouple measures the temperature difference between the sensing junction (where the two different metal wires meet) and the other end of the wire, the reference junction. If you extend a thermocouple with copper wire, you will measure the temperature difference between the junction and the location where the copper extension is spliced on. If the copper splice is the same temperature as the reference junction, or if you can measure the temperature at the splice, then it will be fine. In general, it is better to run the thermocouple wire to the reference junction.

How are electromagnets created?
take a solenoid. make several windings of copper wire. pass current through the copper wire.
What are the mineral resources in Zambia and their uses?
The primary mineral resource in Zambia is copper. Copper is used to male pipes and wire. Unfortunately it is not being mined efficiently in Zambia any longer.
How is copper losses reduced in transformers?
how to reduce copper losses in a transformer Copper losses are due to the resistance of the copper (or aluminum) windings. To reduce copper losses the transformer would have to be rewound with heavier gage wire.
What are telephone wires made of?
Mainly all telephone wires are made of copper with a plastic coating for insulation. Older form of telephone wire had a paper or pulp insulation over the copper wire. They are also a twisted pair cable.
What is the amp rating for 14 gauge wire?
A # 14 copper wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 15 amps. Code states that conductors can only be continuously loaded to 80%. 15 x .8 = 12 amps
Which materials could you use to create a thermocouple?
To create a thermocouple one needs thermocouple wire, a means of spot welding the wire, and wire strippers. A thermocouple is used to measure temperature.
What is heavy copper wire used for?
Heavy copper wire is used for heavy current loads.
Do you need to use TC extension wire to connect a thermocouple or can you use shielded cable?
You must use thermocouple wire (of the same type as the thermocouple) to extend the circuit. If you switch to a different wire the point of connection between the two becomes a thermocouple junction itself, and the resulting voltage from that junction will skew your reading. You can use any wire to extend a thermocouple connection if you know the temperature of the junction where the thermocouple wire ends--this becomes the reference junction.
Can Recycled copper used for copper wire?
yes
What wire is used for Telephone line?
Copper wire
How do you refine copper wire scraps?
To refine copper wire scrap, you need professional tools and equipment such as copper stripper which is used for removing insulation from copper wire.
How much copper wire is used to wire a house?
a house of 1500sqf uses by code 1043 feet of copper wire
What is the metal used in wire?
In most cases, copper is the metal used in wire.
What is copper used for in a phone?
Copper is used for connecting wire to each part of the phone
Can you change from aluminum wire to copper wire in a new oven?
Copper is preferable to aluminum and the size of wire should be the same or the next size down if copper is used.
What elements are used in wire?
Usually copper.
Are microorganisms used in the manufacturing of copper wire?
No.
