Abstract
There are presented results of experimental research on calibration of tungsten–rhenium thermocouples at the temperatures exceeding the upper limit of measurements (1700 °C) of standard type B thermocouple. The research was carried out using the high-temperature installation UKT-2500 designed for practical use in production of temperature sensors based on refractory thermocouples. Available types of insulating ceramics for thermocouples have been tested in the temperature range of (1500–2500) °C. The effects of signal shunting and thermocouples stability in inert atmosphere have been investigated at upper limit of the operating temperature range. There was proved practical feasibility of the method for calibration of several contact temperature sensors (up to 10) in one run relative to radiation pyrometer readings. Its suitability for thermocouple calibration and certifying of thermocouple wires in the temperature range (1200–2200) °C was shown. Installation enables to use reference fixed-points of Me-C type to get the highest accuracy calibration of a single tungsten–rhenium thermocouple. Type A bare-wire thermocouple was calibrated in the whole measuring range from 1200 °C to 2500 °C against an accurate radiation pyrometer.
