Thermocouple Type?
Thermocouple Type?
(OP)
I need to purchase several thermocouples for a proof loading test I will be performing in the near future, this is not anything I have had experience of in the past and was looking for advice as to what type would be best suited. I will be testing a motor and monitoring the temperature during the tests, from the research I have done a standard type K seems to meet requirements, I am planning on putting 3/4 across the motor, either by magnets/sticking on/drilling a hole. After doing several google searches this doesnt seem to narrow my choices down any, could anyone offer any advice? Thanks.

You might want to investigate heat transfer greases and thermally conductive adhesives.

Their thermocouple securement paste is the best I have used by far. No mixing and hardens like a rock and stays put. 125 grams goes a long way. A little pricey but well worth it. Just dip the tc tip in it and use some Kapton tape to hold it until it dries.. (A few minutes when heated slightly with a hot air gun.)
I have tried a few 2 part pastes from Omega and wasn't happy with them at all.

are you just using external enclosure measurements?
