Thermocouple I'm looking at getting a thermocouple for measuring the hot end. Is this the correct type?

Getting an ordinary thermometer? Also, a water-ice mixture has pretty exactly 0 °C and cooking water 95 to 100 °C, depending on the height of the water above main sea level. Two points which can be reproduced well.

The idea is to measure the actual temperature in the nozzle to also compensate for temperature gradient from the sensor to the nozzle.]]> brnrd General Wed, 01 Aug 2012 07:06:02 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,145599,145721#msg-145721 Re: Thermocouple https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,145599,145721#msg-145721 Who cares if we see 10°C or 30°C when the room temperature is 21°C?
What we want is accurate readings between 180°C and 260°C!]]> rhmorrison General Wed, 01 Aug 2012 06:24:05 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,145599,145711#msg-145711 Re: Thermocouple https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,145599,145711#msg-145711

I'm looking to calibrate the thermistor

This is the one I had meant to link to - [www.amazon.com]

Descriptions generally don't say what the size of the wire is with the insulation. Would the insulation be OK at inside a 200C barrel?]]> IanJohnson General Tue, 31 Jul 2012 16:43:08 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,145599,145606#msg-145606 Re: Thermocouple https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,145599,145606#msg-145606 brnrd General Tue, 31 Jul 2012 16:19:25 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,145599,145603#msg-145603 Re: Thermocouple https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,145599,145603#msg-145603 NewPerfection General Tue, 31 Jul 2012 15:53:44 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,145599,145599#msg-145599 Thermocouple https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,145599,145599#msg-145599
