Coaxial thermoelements and thermocouples made from the coaxial thermoelements

摘要

A coaxial thermoelement having a thermocouple wire coaxially disposed in a tubular metal sheath. A ceramic powder electrically is disposed in the tubular metal sheath to insulate the thermocouple wire from the tubular metal sheath. A thermocouple is formed by fusing the thermocouple wire to its metal sheath in each of two coaxial thermoelements and joining the fused ends of the two coaxial thermoelement to form a thermocouple junction.
