Thermocouple

(OP)
Does anyone have details about welding a thermocouple onto the outside of a pressure vessel?  We're expecting temperatures of 400-1200F.

RE: Thermocouple


Pasta,

Many well-known catalogues (Omega, Cole-Parmer, etc.) have t/c's with welding pads.  Type "K" (up to about 2200F) ought to be well suited for the temperature range.  I don't know the details of the provisions one must make for cooling the t/c during installation.  Also consider galvanic reactions with (weld pad metal) - (tank metal).

RE: Thermocouple
