The Right-Angle Ribbon Thermocouple features thermal elements which consist of thin thermocouple alloy ribbons welded together at the sensing tip. These ribbon elements are brought out from opposing sides of the probe along the interface of a high temperature thermally isolating rod and cone assembly. The ribbons in the vicinity of the thermal junction are parallel to the plane of heat source. Thus, both the thermal junction and the ribbons are heated simultaneously and conduction errors are minimized.
The ribbon elements, due to their mass to surface-area relationship; provide fast response times to equilibrium temperatures since the maximum surface contact area is offered to the heat source. Click this link for information about conduction errors.
