Abstract
The recent advent of reliable thermocouple pairs of high melting point has provided new capabilities for high temperature gas measurement. The errors involved in such measurements using fine wire thermocouples are dependent upon radiation from the wire, conduction to the main leads, and convection to the wire. These are all discussed, together with methods for calculating the appropriate corrections. Some numerical results are presented.Keywords
