English translation:thermocouples
Explanation:
I assume that this is maybe Spanish, but I would guess that is stands for thermocouples, temperature sensing elements.

a device that consists of the junction of two dissimilar metallic conductors, as copper and iron, in which an electromotive force is induced when the conductors are maintained at different temperatures, the force being related to the temperature difference: used to determine the temperature of a third substance by connecting it to the junction of the metals and measuring the electromotive force produced.

agree  psicutrinius: You look for the Spanish translation of this very same Wiki, and what do you find as a title?. Termopar.

  -> thanx.

agree  margaret caulfield: This is normally called "termopares" in Spanish. I'd say "termocuplas" is a very bad adaptation from English.

  -> thank you

agree  Raúl Waldman: In Argentina the term 'termocupla' is very usual. It is probably adapted from French rather than English.
