TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT ERROR BY RADIAL INSERTION OF THERMOCOUPLE IN THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY MEASURING DEVICE

To measure the temperature of the inner part of a material, an axially inserted thermocouple is often used. But, when the measurement by an axially inserted thermocouple is difficult, we must insert the thermocouple radially. In the case of radial insertion, a measuring error usually exists. To know the true temperature by the method of radial insertion of a thermocouple, we must conduct numerical calculations.

In this report, numerical calculations have been conducted for the temperature measuring error by radial insertion of thermocouple in a gas thermal conductivity measuring device.^2-5
