AI Thread Summary
Using a ring crimp terminal is a suitable option for connecting a TCK type K thermocouple to a brass component at high temperatures, such as 200°C. Brass-made rings are recommended for durability and compatibility. Omega's assemblies utilize similar connections, indicating industry acceptance of this method. Overall, the ring crimp terminal provides a reliable and effective connection for thermocouples in high-temperature applications. This approach should meet the user's needs effectively.

Hi,

I need to connect my TCK type K to the brass component which has working temperature approximately 200degC.
I intend to drill/tap a hole in the brass (M3) and fix TCK to it with a bolt.

I wonder whether using ring crimp terminal as the tip for the termocouple would be a good option.

If yes, I think it would be good to use brass made rings.

What do you think? Is the ring crimp terminal a right choice as the connection tip for TCK type K?

Please help.
Thank you.
Regards

That should work just fine. Omega does just that with some of their assemblies. See their http://www.omega.com/pptst/WT.html.

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has a short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
