Temperature Measurement Turning Machine (HELP)

AI Thread Summary
Using a thermocouple to measure temperature in a turning machine can be challenging, particularly when connecting wires to different materials like Titanium Carbide. It is acceptable to use a different material for the second wire, but proper insulation is crucial to prevent electrical transfer from the workpiece to the machine. PVC soft insulation may not be suitable for temperatures reaching 300 to 400 degrees Celsius, and alternative high-temperature insulations should be considered. Ensuring the correct material compatibility and insulation type is essential for accurate temperature measurement and equipment safety. Proper guidance on thermocouple connections and insulation materials is necessary for successful experimentation.

I am going to use tool work thermocouple to measure the temperature but i am facing a problem.
I know i can use steel strip to one of the wire.
but how about the second wire?
If my insert is Titanium Carbide.
Is it ok if i using different material from the insert to connect to second wire ?
I am so confuse with it now...PLEASE HELP T_T

what insulation i should use for prevent workpiece transfer electric to machine ?
Is it PVC soft ok ? if my experiment will up to 300 or 400 celcius ?
 

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
