Abstract
An improvement in the method for preparing diffusion resistant clad thermocouple cable by placing the thermocouple wires in MgO powder or pellets on a strip of metal cladding material and longitudinally bending the strip of cladding material around the thermocouple wire and the MgO and welding the resulting seam closed is achieved when the resulting composite cable is placed on a second metal cladding strip such that when the second strip is bent longitudinally around the composite cable the resulting seam is displaced from the welded seam of the first cladding strip.
Claims5
An improved double clad thermocouple cable comprising:
- two thermocouple wires;
- insulating material surrounding said thermocouple wires;
- a first outer sheath of ribbon material encasing said insulating material and said wires and having a first welded seam running longitudinally therealong;
- and a continuous and seamless second outer sheath encasing said first outer sheath and formed of material selected from the group comprising polytetrafluoroethylene, nylon and epoxy resins.
