Stability of Chromel-Alumel Thermocouples in Carbon Dioxide at 1000°C (open access)

Stability of Chromel-Alumel Thermocouples in Carbon Dioxide at 1000°C

Tests on twenty identically prepared 26 gauge Chromel-Alumel thermocouples have been completed. It appears that wires of this material without protection are unsatisfactory mechanically and thermoelectrically for service in atmospheres of CO₂ at 1000°C.
