Hotspot Thermocouple Welder Manual

Thermocouple Welding and Soldering

  1. HotSpot I The HotSpot Capacitive Discharge Welder is designed to help solve your thermocouple fabrication and attachment problems. The welder generates an electric arc for fusing standard couple elements into freestanding beads and welding them to any thickness base metal.
  2. THERMOCOUPLE AND FINE WIRE WELDER MODEL L60+ Operating Instructions The L60+ welder is designed for sensor manufacturers to produce commercial grade thermocouple junctions,and by users of large numbers of exposed junction thermocouples such as test and development laboratories where multipoint temperature sensing of test pieces is required.

This instruction manual describes how to operate, maintain and service the Thermocouple Welder, and provides instructions relating to its SAFE use. Procedures described in this manual MUST be performed, as detailed, by QUALIFIED and TRAINED personnel. ASTM STP 852, Manual on the Use of Thermocouples ASTM Manual 12, On the Use of Thermocouples 5.1.3 Thermocouple fabrication Thermocouples may be fabricated using a fine oxy-hydrogen welding torch, a capacitive discharge micro spot-welding technique, or any industry acceptable method which fuses the two wires into a homogenous bead.

I am looking for an information source about welding and soldering Type T thermocouple (T/C) extension leads to another extension lead and also to the thermocouple wire.
Specifically information regarding the technique, sources of error, and the pro/cons of welding vs soldering.
Why is there a special procedure/technique for welding Type T and what is the special process?
Does anyone have experience with either technique?
BACKGROUND
We have 68 Type T T/C channels located outside in New England. We currently have Omega MTC-12 connectors mounted on masts with the male connector on an umbilical to the T/Cs. The female bulkhead connector is mounted on a 4x4 enclosure. The female bulkhead mount (admittedly) does not have the specified environmental backshell. As expected we are experiencing erroneous readings and open T/Cs. The connections should not have to be undone for 20-30 years. I would like to propose removing the connectors and welding or soldering the T/C cable wires at the connection at the 4x4. Also, I would like to weld or solder the extension cables to the industrial T/C leads at the T/C peckerhead.
PS: Does anyone have a better name for the 'peckerhead'?
