RE: Thermocouple welder
I used the Omega for many years in a previous job. We tested air conditioners and welded 20 – 30 thermocouples a week without problems. It proved to be a reliable tool. However, for the budget minded, there are other options. DCC HotSpot http://www.dcccorporation. om/onespec.html?plpver=10origin=comparefilter=0 - $700 Omega TL Weld http://www.omega.com/Heaters/pdf/TL_WELD.pdf - $1800 Therm-x 258B http://www.therm-x.com/Product.aspx?ProductID=319 - $1300 Burrell Scientific Kup-L-Weld http://www.burrellsci.com/brl02.htm - ??? My personal preference is to use long wires with the tip glued in place. At the end of a test, I cut off the end and leave it on the test sample. It doesn’t take long to weld a new tip onto the thermocouple wires. I will throw out the wires only when they get too short, or when they don’t read room temperature properly when I run a sanity check before starting a test.

RE: Thermocouple welder
Not to hijack this thread, but what is the best way to hold a thermocouple in place and get the best most accurate readings? Is there a special cement or glue to glue the tip right to what you are trying to measure? We try to secure the thermocouple back from the tip and use thermo paste on the tip but this is very messy. I’ve seen some labs use plane old super glue to glue the tip down and then use acetone to soften it up for removal. Is this a common practice or is there a better way or some official way to do this?

RE: Thermocouple welder
You will not get away with twisting and smacking the leads if you are under IECEE SMT. You have to weld them. Also, my lab uses lots of TCs and we reuse them so you may have to re-weld them after each use because whatever cement you use to apply the TCs can very well cause you to rip the end of the TC when you remove it.

RE: Thermocouple welder
Peter Why bother? Unless you need really long thermocouples that are not available off the shelf as pre-welded units, it simply isn't worth the time and trouble. We treat thermocouples as consumable items. They cost about £5 ($7) each and we just discard them when broken. The thermocouples come with a Certificate of Conformity, so there is no need to calibrate them. You can buy an awful lot of those with the money you would spend on a welder, and then you've got to add on the cost of the wire and the time to make the weld. With overheads, lab time costs us about £70 ($100) an hour, so £5 would buy less than 5 minutes. Do you think you can set up your welder, prepare the wires and make the weld in less than 5 minutes? Just my 2p (2c) worth.

RE: Thermocouple welder
I've done the twisted together and the hammer smacking method before. The twisting worked the best between the two methods since the one of the metal was brittle and cracked easily instead staying attached when smacked the hammer, and neither agreed much with the reference. But one was easy and the other was fun. Being able to claim that the other one was doing highly calibrated delicate precision work was fun when asking the bystanders to step back, and then swinging the big hammer to smack the twisted joint. - Bill Indecision may or may not be the problem. --- On Mon, 6/15/09, Ron Pickard, RPQ rpick...@rpqconsulting.com wrote: From: Ron Pickard, RPQ rpick...@rpqconsulting.com Subject: RE: Thermocouple welder To: 'American Idle' ibm...@gmail.com Cc: peterh...@aol.com, emc-p...@ieee.org Date: Monday, June 15, 2009, 11:12 PM Hi Ken, Pete did say that he wanted a very inexpensive solution, which is what I suggested, topping off at about $15 w/o the DC supply.

RE: Thermocouple welder
Hi Pete, On the cheap, a used large value DC capacitor with threaded terminals (easy to attach wires) along with two different-colored (to observe polarity), cut in half banana-banana cables should the job nicely, especially if you already have a DC power supply for charging. Just make sure the cap is safely voltage rated and polarity observed for the DC supply when charging. Also, common alligator clips that fit on the banana ends are easily replaceable as welding takes its toll. Please note that this set up will not produce controlled or consistent welds, but with a little practice the welds will soon become quite good. IHTH.

RE: THERMOCOUPLE WELDER
Hi, For historic interest. Way back in the early 1970's I was employed by a company that made thermocouples. The smallest was 0.5mm diameter and was sheathed in stainless steel. The actual thermocouple wires were insulated from the sheath and themselves by magnesium oxide. We also designed, built and operated a capacitor discharge welder (CDW) to make the thermocouples. We would start with the raw cable on a reel and cut to length. We would then (using a microscope to view what we were doing) clean the area around the thermocouple wires, removing the MgO to expose sufficient to weld and the wires pushed together. The other end of the thermocouple wires were connected to the return of the CDW and then the capacitors were charged to the correct value. The welding torch was aligned with the thermocouple wires and argon gas was started to form an inert shield around the weld area. The discharge was executed and the weld inspected for quality and to make sure that the weld is inside the sheath. The final stage was to back-fill the sheath with MgO and fit a stainless steel cap over the (now insulated) thermocouple junction. The CDW was used to weld the cap in place. The cold end was terminated with flexible tails and encapsulated in a water-tight seal. These were used in nuclear power stations. The surprising thing to me was how little your hands would shake when working under the microscope ! The name of the company was BICC Pyrotenax.

RE: THERMOCOUPLE WELDER
Ask the manager at an accredited test lab for specific recommendations. I was not aware that there was an approved type of thermocouple welder. In any case, have always made my own welders, because I have never had consistent results with something off the shelf. They are very easy to make, and you get exactly what you want for a given type of thermocouple wire and technique. I recently squashed any requirement to weld in an Argon envelope when an agency engineer was not able to provide 'better' or more consistent data using thermocouples welded with a $6k USD shiny, full of dials, indicators, and lights, welding machine. Although I do whisper some of the (Klingon) R'uustai ritual while welding thermocouples... luck, Brian From: emc-p...@ieee.org [mailto:emc-p...@ieee.org]On Behalf Of Bolintineanu, Constantin Sent: Friday, July 18, 2008 12:04 PM To: emc-p...@ieee.org Subject: THERMOCOUPLE WELDER Dear Colleagues, I would like to kindly ask you in regard to the THERMOCOUPLES WELDERS that you are using.
