Methods for making high-temperature thermocouples

Methods of manufacturing thermocouples having a first thermoelement wire comprises a molybdenum-lanthanum based material and a second thermoelement wire comprises a phosphorus-doped niobium, may involve exposing a first thermoelement wire and a second thermoelement wire to a temperature in a range extending from about 50° C. to about 60° C. above an intended operational temperature of the first and second thermoelement wires and until a rate of change of a normalized voltage output of the first thermoelement wire and the second thermoelement wire is about 0.001 normalized Volts per hour or less.

Influence of the Method of Attaching Surface Thermocouples on the Error of Temperature Determination in Testing Ceramic Materials on Radiative Heating Installations

A procedural error of measuring the temperature on the ceramic material surface in testings carried out on radiative heating installations has been estimated. Different methods of attaching contact temperature sensors are investigated. Using mathematical simulation accounting for the thermophysical properties of all materials, good qualitative and quantitative agreement between calculated and experimental values of temperature has been obtained in the temperature sensor–sample system. Recommendations for reducing the error of measuring the frontal surface of samples in carrying out thermal tests on a radiative heating stand are given.

Correlation of Mixture Temperature Data Obtained from Bare Intake-manifold Thermocouples

A relatively simple equation has been found to express with fair accuracy, variation in manifold-charge temperature with charge in engine operating conditions. This equation and associated curves have been checked by multi cylinder-engine data, both test stand and flight, over a wide range of operating conditions. Average mixture temperatures, predicted by the equations of this report, agree reasonably well with results within the same range of carburetor-air temperatures from laboratories and test stands other than the NACA.

TRUST Sensors in Environments: Thermocouples (SE-TC) Report Release FY24

The objective of the Delivery Environments (DE) Testbeds to Reduce Uncertainty in Simulations and Tests (TRUST) project is to quantify and help increase confidence in specific areas of computational and experimental capabilities that are applicable to the development, on-target assessment, and qualification of current and future delivery environments. More complete quantification of confidence in experimental and computational capabilities and the sufficient increase of confidence in those capabilities is critical to improving weapons engineering design, qualification, and assessment efforts that are critical to the current and future stockpile. This work uses and provides feedback on analysis tools and experimental results databases for efficient and responsive engineering which are currently under development.

One-wire thermocouple

Nickel alloy/constantan device accurately measures surface temperature at precise locations. Device is moderate in cost and simplifies fabrication of highly-instrumented seamless-surface heat-transfer models. Device also applies to metal surfaces if constantan wire has insulative coat.
