Discuss Attaching a thermocouple to smooth, thin aluminium vessel in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
Thanks for the reply. The diameter is 10" and I don't think it is lagged in any way. Cheers.Is this vessel lagged to keep the heat in?
What diameter is it?
Maybe a strap around the outside to hold the sensor against the vessel.
Thanks for the reply. Yes I understand what you mean. What further treatment would you suggest and would it be possible to use an adhesive? I am making essential oils so would be boiling off alcohol at around 70 degrees ish. Cheers.If you want to know the temp of the contents then the thermocouple may need to be inside the vessel. Glued to the outside it will need further treatment to ensure it's not reading the local air temps, if that make any sense. What are you boiling?
Hi - I'm thinking about thermal insulation for the unit. Perhaps spray on insulation, a styrofoam type box or an insulation wrap up? This will keep the surrounding air off it and make the temp of your boiler more stable. Send in a pic of your unitThanks for the reply. Yes I understand what you mean.

Hi guys, I was wrong stating the vessel to be aluminium as it is stainless steel which would make more sense as it is used primarily to distil water for drinking.@snowhead idea of a strap (of some sort) then insulation perhaps
