Can you solder thermocouples

Both comments and pings are currently closed. Rosin Fluxes react with copper. Saponification: Saponifiers in an aqueous cleaner can be used to remove rosin flux. Soldering Thermocouple Wires : Thermocouple wire materials are not solderable Thermocouple materials are not solderable.

Thankyou FvM, So are you saying that nrmal Rosin-flux cored solder could act to corrode the thermocouples. I believe that all solder that i get off RS or farnell has flux in it, and it is not the type that contains the special flux's that you mention.

You can just try, if the solder joint looks good with regular solder, you don't need special flux. Orson Cart Advanced Member level 3. A decent twisting together of the wires with suitable pliers usually does the job of holding them together well enough to function accurately as a thermocouple - solder can then be used just to hold the twisted bits in place on the component leg or similar.

For good isolation without losing temp accuracy we used some DCB substrate 3mmx3mm pieces Al2O3 - alumina 0. Regards, Orson Cart. Similar threads T. Cheap thermocouple reader is OK?

These are going in an environmental test chamber. Two thermocouples measure the temp of some lines in the compressor system. The other three measure various locations within the chamber.

We don't need extreme accuracy here either - they probably just need "cold, cool, warm, and hot. This is yet another thing that was bought semi-functional at an auction. LordSnailz Diamond Member.
