STABILITY OF RHENIUM/TUNGSTEN THERMOCOUPLES IN HYDROGEN ATMOSPHERES

Journal Article · · ISA Journal
OSTI ID:4173833

The results of tests conducted on rhenium--tungsten thermocouples to determine their stability at elevated temperatures in hydrogen are presented. The stability of the thermocouple was measured at 1000 deg C by reading the emf of the "as received" wire at this temperature then heating to higher temperatures. The thermocouple was allowed to return to the emf value at 1000 deg C and the change in temperature was recorded. The stability ranged from a --7 deg C DELTA T at 1500 deg C to +35 deg C DELTA T at 2300 deg C. (B.O.G.)
