Understanding Thermocouples and Their Use in Thermal Processing 

In thermal processing, precision is critical. Maintaining accurate temperature control can directly impact product quality and compliance with industry standards like AMS2750. The heart of this necessary precision lies with the thermocouple—the temperature sensors that ensure accurate measurement of temperature during the heat treatment process. 

In this article, we are going to explore thermocouples and their use in pyrometry. We’ll discuss the basics of how they work, the different types available, and the calibration requirements you need to meet for compliance. By the end, you’ll have a better understanding of how to make informed decisions for your heat-treat operations.

Thermocouples are a critical part of the thermal processing industry. They ensure our process, including production hardware, is being processed at the correct temperature and time.
