thermally conductive gels/pastes
thermally conductive gels/pastes
(OP)
Does anyone know of, or could recomend any commercially available gels or pastes that I could use to conduct teperature to the tip of a thermocouple that is inserted into a hole drilled in a refractory brick.
The gel/paste needs to be able to withstand upto 200 degs c and must not set solid as the thermocouples have to be removed periodically. It also has to be reasonably cheap as there are a lot of thermocouples that will require treating. I'm looking at buying it by the bucket load, not small tubes like the heat sink compounds used on pcb's.

Dow Corning's 340 heatsink compound will be available in large quantities too - I didn't register with their site to pull the full data so I don't know what the exact package quantities are.
