Hi guysNot sure this is good enough for you guys... but it is low tech and very simple (and fairly cheap):You can buy tempilstik temperature indicators (available on ebay).These come in a wide range of temperature measurements. All you need to do is mark a line (in a nosecone I would think of lines running from the tip edge down to the base) using several pens marking different temperatures. If the dye changes color or bubbles (clear visible indication) - you exceeded the registered temperature. Or you can bond many thermocouplers to the nosecone from the inside (of course)... I'd go with the pens (light weight, does not influence the rocket balance/performance, allows live launch tests... etc)Here is the company link: http://www.tempil.com/products/tempilstik-original/Just my 2 cents...

The main problem I see is that we need to measure high temperatures. I do not know exactly how much, but around 1200ºC. And this only measures halfway. Do you know if there is a sensor for arduino with this possibility?

I am just doing this for a medical project.

Throughout this week, I've been talking to Hans, and he thought the possibility to also measure the temperature on the side of the wall that is in contact with the flame. Would be measured by an infrared thermometer. I am contacting you to see if anyone is interested, or know how, to attach an infrared thermometer with data logger that Liam is manufacturing for thermocouples. By this, we can obtain pairs of temperatures at the same point. Both outside and inside of the wall, in order to obtain among other data, values of thermal conductivity and heat capacity of each material. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and interest.
