Can you show some kind of this resistance?

Then use Pt resistance "thermocouples" if more than 1350 C is needed. btw multiple thermocouples don't need to be insulated from each other or the case at the junction. Strange but true. I brazed, TIG welded, and clamped three K thermouples on a sheet of steel, put it in the oven and the temperatures tracked appropriately. That makes it easier to measure a liner at different places.

It may work - and even provide usefull data - but an IR thermometer will read the surface temperature continuously.

It will need a simple instrumentation amplifier to get the signal voltage to a range compatible with the Arduino A/D converter. For about $10 in parts you can build your own IN-AMP. There are several choices for single chip IN-AMPs that will do the job and here is a board from China for $10, and the chip output is 10mv/deg C. http://www.ebay.com/itm/AD597-Ultimaker-Temperature-Control-Board-K-Thermocouple-Signal-Amplifier-/321597894984?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ae0ba7148 Grant On 11/25/2014 1:12 AM, flint hapirat (Redacted sender flinthapirat@xxxxxxxxx for DMARC) wrote: One comment - The tempilstick temperature pens are rated between 38c-1093c...

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. Markus From: vicente_alvero_14@xxxxxxxxxxx To: sugarshot@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SS2S-Main] volunteering Date: Sat, 15 Nov 2014 19:21:26 +0100 Hi all again, Although a long time do not talk about it, yet we continue the investigation of ablative materials. For the study of the material that will coat the nosecone of our rocket; Richard, Mattias and I already started last summer to work on it. 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.
