The two metals that make up a thermocouple wire run the entire length of the thermocouple right? (As opposed to an RTD where only the tip is the temperature sensitive metals and regular copper wires lead away from it).
So if I wanted to shorten a really long thermocouple, I just cut the tail end wires off? It doesn't matter that the tail wires are not made of copper but are instead made of the same material as the junction? It has no effect on the performance of the thermocouple?
