Abstract:
A series of articles in this Journal by Wilkinson on platinum-based thermocouples and their use (1-4) addressed most of the potential problems and performance-limiting factors. The author referred to the possibility of deterioration of thermocouple performance through contamination. This article expands on this, demonstrating that the prevailing atmosphere in which the thermocouple is operating can have a profound effect on its life and accuracy.Document Type: Research article
