What is used to Protect the Thermocouple (EGT) assembly from MELTING?

Image Description -

Ceramic materials protect the Thermocouple assemblies, particularly those measuring Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) in aircraft engines.

They are used to protect thermocouples in engines because they can withstand very high temperatures, often over 1,000°C (1,832°F), making them ideal for exhaust systems. They also have low thermal conductivity, which keeps the thermocouple cool and accurate by insulating it from extreme heat.


Additionally, ceramics resist oxidation and corrosion, protecting the thermocouple from harsh gases and debris. They are strong enough to handle vibrations and shocks, ensuring long-lasting performance, and they are lightweight, which helps improve overall engine efficiency.
