Glass with good thermal conductivity
Thread Content
Since a glass tube needs to be wrapped around the thermocouple used for temperature measurement to prevent corrosion, I would like to ask everyone which type of glass tube has a better heat conduction performance? For example, ordinary glass, special glass, quartz glass, and plexiglass. . . . Urgently need an answer, thanks. . .
Glass doesn’t have very good thermal conductivity; can’t we consider metals instead? The heat transfer coefficient is one or two orders of magnitude higher than that of glass
Reply to 2# zhoujunchao: There is electricity flowing through it, and that might not be good for the thermocouple; I’m not sure if it has an impact on temperature measurement as well
Then find out what kind of glass is used to make the thermometer. . . . . Can something like thermometer glass be used?
Glass has very poor thermal conductivity; if heat exchangers with much better thermal conductivity and resistance to corrosion could be developed, that would revolutionize the industry
