    .Scott replied to the thread Flow Rate impact due to thermocouple obstruction.
    Without knowing a lot about the application, you don't know the requirements for accuracy and precision and you don't know how tolerant...

    .Scott replied to the thread Flow Rate impact due to thermocouple obstruction.
    You could consider the maximum force placed on the thermocouple by the flow of the fluid under worse-case flow, temperature, and...
