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
 
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 celcius ?

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...

Thread 'HP Required to move a robot 10meters at 1.5m/sec'

I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
