Interesting comment from Bob Greenyer <https://disqus.com/home/user/bobgreenyer/>:
The thermocouples sat in the groves which were hotter than the tops of fins (this can be clearly seen in photos), the K type, being finer, sat further in the grove accentuating this, additionally it was in a hot zone which possibly had more windings on the heater coil per unit length from this rough three core winding. Almost more than anything, yesterdays test showed the validity of a technique that would average temperatures over an area and time - it remains to be seen if the use of an Optris PI160 was the right choice. Pretty thrilling stuff that MFMP is doing right now. Love to hear comments on this though: 3. A dog bone at 1400ºC will be very hard to look at (will almost certainly need filter glass) Hard to look at with the naked eye? I don't recall anything in the lugano report about the ecat being hard to look at.
