INL Innovation Spotlight Precision Enhancement for Thermocouples: A Leap in Measurement Accuracy This technology stabilizes thermocouples using ohmic heating, improving their accuracy and lifespan and meeting the need for reliable temperature measurements in various industries. Overview: Thermocouples, the backbone of temperature measurement in virtually every industry, suffer from accuracy drift over time, especially under high temperatures or radiation. This affects the quality and safety of processes and leads to frequent replacements and downtime. The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has developed a groundbreaking method to extend the lifespan and accuracy of thermocouples, addressing these challenges head-on. With a market spanning from manufacturing to aerospace, where precision is pa...
