Best Answer

Thermocouple is a heat sensing device.

It is made up of 2 dissimilar metals twisted/joined at one end called a junction and that is made Hot and the other end or tell end is cold (may be at 0 degree C). then a voltage is developed accross the two dissimilar metal, this principle is called SEEBECK EFFECT.

The voltage developed is directly propersional to the difference in temperature.

What role does the reference junction play in thermocouple readings?

The reference junction, also known as the cold junction, serves as the point where the thermocouple temperature is compared to the known temperature of the reference junction. This comparison helps to accurately determine the temperature at the measurement point. The reference junction compensation is required because the output voltage of the thermocouple is dependent on the temperature difference between the measurement point and the reference junction.
