What are some common methods of attachment?
Kapton tape
High temperature solder
Aluminum foil &#8211; adhesive backed
Aluminum foil &#8211; adhesive backed &#8211; framed in Kapton tape
Copper foil &#8211; adhesive backed
Epoxy &#8211; air or uv cured
Temprobe(r) - reusable adjustable probe
Sticky T/C &#8211; reusable tape [...]]]></description>

<p style="PADDING-LEFT: 30px">Kapton tape<br />
High temperature solder<br />
Aluminum foil &#8211; adhesive backed<br />
Aluminum foil &#8211; adhesive backed &#8211; framed in Kapton tape<br />

Temprobe(r) - reusable adjustable probe<br />
Sticky T/C &#8211; reusable tape &#8211; adhesive backed</p>
<p>&#8220;How well they work&#8221; depends.</p>
<p style="PADDING-LEFT: 30px">Are they easy to attach? - How long does it take to make a good connection<br />
Are they easy to remove? &#8211; Is the thermocouple or product damaged during removal<br />
How stable is the attachment ?- Can I get consistent results over repeated measurements<br />
How accurate is the measurement ? &#8211; Does the attachment method interfere with the measurement<br />
Cost &#8211; What do the attachment materials cost<br />
Can the attachment materials be reused?�<br />
Can the thermocouple be reused after removal?</p>
