On another list to which I belong, someone asked about thermocouples,
what the different types were, what they were made of, temp ranges,
millivolt readings of common types, etc.
It took some digging, but I found the info. Since many of the people on
the list have auto-controlled kilns that rely on Type K and S
thermocouples, testing of the thermocouples when the kiln fails or
doesn't hit temperature, or overfires, or whatever might be within what
one would need to do. It's always nice to have that information at hand.
I also thought that some of the more inclined "tinkerers" on Clayart
could also use that information, so here it is...
Good information here:
For makeup of common thermocouple types, go to
http://instserv.com/rmocoupl.htm
For millivolt versus temperature readings of the same thermocouples, go to
http://instrumentation-central.com/pages/thermocouple_reference_table.htm
Hope that helps,
Wayne Seidl
