INTRODUCTION
The Prospector, Thermoelectric Alloy Sorter (TEAS) uses a theory like that of a thermocouple,
involving the direct conversion of temperature differences into electricity. This principle is also
known as the Seebeck Effect. A thermocouple type circuit is formed when a heated metal
probe makes contact with an unheated test metal. The thermal connection of these two
junctions, one at an elevated temperature and the other at room temperature, generates a
small voltage. The voltage varies with the type of test metal and can be consistently correlated.
The energy produced is displayed numerically on the liquid crystal display as a TE-Reading.
This thermal electric property of metals and temperature can be used to characterize most
types of metal. Industrial quality control instruments use this as a method to identify metal
alloys. This process known as thermoelectric alloy sorting.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric effect. This widely-known and approved method
(ASTM E977), is used for metal classification and verification. This instrument is also cited in
the RB211-72-AG183 for aircraft use.
