Abstract
A flexible coaxial thermocouple wire comprising an insulated inner thermoelement and a braided outer thermoelement surrounding the insulation covering the inner thermoelement. The braided outer thermoelement, in addition to forming one conductor of a thermocouple pair, also serves to protect and contain the insulation. Also encompassed is the formation of a thermojunction at one end of the coaxial thermocouple wire and connection of a termination to the other end.
Claims11
A coaxial thermocouple wire comprising an inner thermoelement, a layer of insulation covering said inner thermoelement, and a braided outer thermoelement surrounding said insulation covering said inner thermoelement, said inner thermoelement and braided outer thermoelement being joined at one end of said wire to form a measuring junction.
A coaxial thermocouple wire comprising an inner wire conductor, a layer of insulation covering said inner wire conductor, and a braid of conductive wire strands closely surrounding and containing said insulation, said inner conductor and wire strands being made of dissimilar thermoelectric materials suited for joinder to form a thermojunction, said inner conductor and wire strands being joined at one end of said inner conductor to form said thermojunction.
