  • Specialty control thermocouple for vacuum heat treat furnaces
    Patent number: 11815403
    Abstract: A low thermal conductivity fixed thermocouple with a heat sink package specifically designed for electrically heated vacuum furnaces having an overall cylindrical hot zone diameter of 36 inches or less, and preferably containing all metal reflective radiation shields or graphite felt insulation packages that experience high conductive losses in the low temperature ranges during vacuum heating which result in large discrepancies between the furnace temperature readings and the actual workload temperature.
