We always used to spot weld the T/C to the bottom of the strip.
A big challenge is to avoid pickup of voltage from the strip (which is
resistively heated) by the T/C – this can lead to false temperature
indications, sometimes huge! I strongly recommend verification of the
temperature by some
I agree with Tim. HT stages such as Anton Paar’s XRK900 provide excellent
temperature control and stability across a range of atmospheres.
One advantage that strip heaters still have is in rapid heating and cooling.

Dr.
Blaise,
Andrew, below correctly summarises the issues with strip heaters, and as Julian
mentions, even if you can get them working satisfactorily they are essentially
rather expensive consumables.
While for you not an immediate solution, for the reasons outlined by Andrew and
Julian, we moved
