Are OMEGAs immersion type Omegaclad probes such as the Quick Disconnect series as seen on page A-27 of Volume 29 Temperature Handbook good for surface measurement applications?

A. No, any type of probe with a beaded junction and a protective sheath (even with an exposed tip) does not provide accurate surface temperature measurements. The beaded junction will not only pick up surface temperatures but also surrounding air temperature. One solution for surface measurement is thin ribbon type elements as used in OMEGA’s 88000 series surface probes as seen on pages A-55 through A-68 in OMEGA’s Volume 29 Temperature Handbook. Another solution is the use of non-contact infrared sensors as seen on pages A-69 and A-70.

I can’t understand why my .020″ diameter inconel sheathed type K probes keep failing. I am using them at 1100 degrees C which is well below the maximum published temperature range of 1372 degrees C for type K. Could you explain why they are failing? A. Yes, the published maximum useful tem
