this paper describes the results obtained with a new kind of
thermocouple gauge in which the classical arrangement wire and
thermocouple is replaced by a simple K type micro thermocouple
(ChromeleAlumel with 25.4
mm diameter) heated by an electric
current and cooled by the gas (air) for the simultaneous measurements
of the temperature and the pressure in the range
extending from 10
1
Pae10
5
Pa. The ChromeleAlumel thermocouple
is recommended for use in clean oxidizing atmospheres
and it is the thermocouple most widely used in industrial applications.
Type K thermocouples generally work in most applications
because they are nickel based and have good corrosion
resistance
