Table 2.5.1 Thermocouple materials and temperature ranges [1]

Applications of Thermocouples

• To monitor temperatures and chemistry throughout the steel making process
  
• Testing temperatures associated with process plants e.g. chemical production and petroleum refineries
  
• Testing of heating appliance safety
  
• Temperature profiling in ovens, furnaces and kilns
  
• Temperature measurement of gas turbine and engine exhausts
  
• Monitoring of temperatures throughout the production and smelting process in the steel, iron and aluminum industry
