Temperature Measurement Turning Machine (HELP)

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on using a thermocouple to measure temperature in a setup involving a Titanium Carbide insert. The user seeks clarification on connecting the second wire of the thermocouple, specifically whether using a different material from the insert is acceptable. Additionally, there is a query regarding the appropriate insulation material to prevent electrical transfer to the machine, with a focus on the suitability of PVC soft insulation for temperatures up to 400 degrees Celsius.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of thermocouple types and their applications
  • Knowledge of material compatibility in high-temperature environments
  • Familiarity with electrical insulation materials
  • Experience with temperature measurement techniques
NEXT STEPS
  • Research thermocouple types and their appropriate wire materials
  • Investigate the thermal properties and compatibility of PVC soft insulation at high temperatures
  • Learn about alternative insulation materials suitable for high-temperature applications
  • Explore best practices for connecting dissimilar metals in thermocouple setups
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, technicians, and researchers involved in temperature measurement and materials science, particularly those working with thermocouples and high-temperature applications.

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
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
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 celsius ?
