Abstract

A high-temperature thermocouple is made by placing a u-tube containing a bi-metal junction in a mould, positioned to locate the u projecting through the face portion of the mould, holding other non-ceramic parts of the thermocouple in the mould, and filling the mould with ceramic. The mould is elastically deformable at least where it holds the u-tube, and the ceramic extends into the u-tube ends. Also the product made by the described method.
