Conclusions
It follows from (1) that on the basis of the measurement results it is possible to arrive at the following conclusions: an electrode segment plated with any other thermoelectric material can be represented by an equivalent system consisting of two conductors which are joined only at the ends and have cross sections and lengths respectively equal to those of the main and plated electrodes.
Relationship (1) was used under specific conditions of thermal flow convertors [7] for finding with relative simplicity the optimum plating thickness for a maximum sensing-element signal.
The above data can be used either for evaluating the thermoelectric properties of plated thermocouples, or for manufacturing such thermocouples with predetermined properties.
