Rewiring Thermocouple Mini-plug Connectors

Posted on

Many thermocouple solutions are provided fully assembled and connected to a subminiature plug (SMP) with polarized blades, allowing the thermocouple to quickly be attached to a data logger. While these thermocouple solutions often save time and effort, it can be helpful to understand the basic principles of how a thermocouple is connected to an SMP. This can be especially useful when troubleshooting unusual temperature readings that may not be realistic for the application at hand.

Carburization: Improving the Strength of Steel with Heat Treatment

Posted on

Carburization is a process that transforms low carbon steel into high carbon steel, creating strong and durable products required for industries across the board including aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing. The thermochemical process introduces steel to a carbon-dense environment, via liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons, with the product outcome dependent on temperature and hold time.
