A system includes a measurement instrument including a first connector, a control module, and a display. A temperature probe includes a shaft and a tip. A second connector is coupled to a first end of the shaft. The tip is coupled to a second end of the shaft and measures a change in temperature of a sample. The second connector is received by the first connector when the temperature probe is attached to the measurement instrument. A storage module is housed within the second connector and stores parameters of the temperature probe. The control module receives the parameters, prompts a user to select the sample on the display, and determines a thermal conductivity and a stable time of the sample. When the stable time has elapsed, the control module determines a temperature measurement based on a change in voltage and displays the temperature measurement on the display.

Systems and methods for smart thermocouple temperature probe

A system includes a measurement instrument including a first connector and a control module electrically connected to the first connector. A temperature probe including a shaft having a first end and a second end, a second connector being coupled to the first end, a thermocouple junction formed at a tip and configured to measure a change in temperature of a sample, and the second connector being received by the first connector when the temperature probe is attached to the measurement instrument. A storage module housed within the second connector and configured to store one or more parameters of the temperature probe. The control module being configured to: receive the one or more parameters; determine a temperature measurement based on a change in voltage; determine a first correction based on the one or more parameters; and determine an adjusted temperature measurement based on the temperature measurement and the first correction.
