Method for making small pointed thermocouples

Constantan wire worked to a needle point and covered with a copper coating produces a small, concentric, fast-reaction thermocouple that has the fast response time necessary to measure rapid temperature changes accurately and only slightly alters the environment being measured.

NASA Contributions to Development of Special-Purpose Thermocouples. A Survey

The thermocouple has been used for measuring temperatures for more than a century, but new materials, probe designs, and techniques are continually being developed. Numerous contributions have been made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and its contractors in the aerospace program. These contributions have been collected by Midwest Research Institute and reported in this publication to enable American industrial engineers to study them and adapt them to their own problem areas. Potential applications are suggested to stimulate ideas on how these contributions can be used.

Semiconductor cooling by thin-film thermocouples

Thin-film, metal alloy thermocouple junctions do not rectify, change circuit impedance only slightly, and require very little increase in space. Although they are less efficient cooling devices than semiconductor junctions, they may be applied to assist conventional cooling techniques for electronic devices.
