Thermocouples are widely used in industrial applications due to their robustness, low cost, reliability and ability to survive in harsh environments. However, these thermocouples are prone to failure in a highly acidic medium such as nuclear fuel reprocessing plants. This paper investigates the degradation phenomenon and its effect on measurement accuracy when a thermocouple with mechanical damage to the protective sheath is placed in a corrosive media.
