Does anyone know how a multimeter can be used to measure temperature?
There are two types of multimeters that can be used to measure temperature. One is the built-in temperature measurement function, and the other is using a thermocouple + multimeter. I have always used the Fluke 87V multimeter. The Model 87 can be used to measure the temperature of a Type K thermocouple (included with the device), but be careful when using it, it is rated for –200.0°C to +1090.0°C and –328.0°F To +1994.0 °F, the K-type thermocouple included with the multimeter is rated at 260 °C. To measure temperatures outside this range, use a thermocouple with a higher rating. The operation is relatively simple. Just connect a K-type thermocouple to the "COM" and "Ω" terminals of the multimeter, turn the rotary switch to the "mV" terminal, and press the "yellow key" to measure the temperature. Press the "RANGE" key to switch between Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F), you don't need to convert it yourself, which is very considerate. How to use a multimeter to measure temperature is actually very simple, but still pay attention to safety.
