I am conducting a research experiment where a steel component is welded onto the surface of a concrete member. A thermocouple will be pre-installed inside the concrete to measure temperature propagation during the welding process.
I am looking for recommendations for a thermocouple (preferably without a probe) that can reliably withstand temperatures up to approximately 1300 °C, while maintaining good accuracy and durability in this application.
Any suggestions regarding thermocouple type, materials, or specific commercial products would be greatly appreciated.
