Regarding the Nb-Ir thermocouples ... Bob, can you suggest a source for these thermocouples and their voltage calibration data? For my experiments, the cost of the hardware is coming out of my own pocket - not someone else's deep pocket. For k-type thermocouples, the voltage-temperature profile is built into my DAQ. For the Nb-Ir, I suspect, I will have to read the voltage and convert it to temperature with a custom LUT in Labview. All doable if the voltage is not too low to be noisy and if the couples are not too expensive.
