The technology as well as commercial suppliers have been developed for high temperature thermocouples for the Loss-of-Fluid-Test (LOFT) program. Two types of thermocouples were developed and tested. Model B units contained a 1/16-inch OD 24-inch long Mo/Re sheath probe and were capable of temperature measurement to 1550/sup 0/C. Model A units contained a 1/16-inch OD 41-inch long W/Re-augmented sheath probe and were capable of temperature measurement to 2200/sup 0/C.
