Abstract
A multipoint thermocouple for sensing temperature. The thermocouple comprises a sheath having a plurality of conductor pairs disposed within the sheath. Each conductor pair has two conductors of dissimilar materials joined at a unique junction point along the sheath. The unique junction points permit sensing of temperature at different locations along the length of the multipoint thermocouple.
Claims10
A temperature sensing device, comprising:
- a sheath having an insulating material disposed therein;
- a plurality of first conductors;
- and
- a plurality of second conductors, the second conductors being formed of a different material than the first conductors, the first conductors being connected to corresponding second conductors within the insulating material at a plurality of unique longitudinal locations, wherein the insulating material fills the interstices between the plurality of first conductors and second conductors, wherein each of the plurality of first conductors comprises a rod that extends substantially along the entire length of the sheath.
