The purpose of this paper is to discuss the status of refractory metal thermocouples and recent efforts toward solving the problems associated with thermoelements, insulators, and sheathing in high temperature applications. Because of the continuing research in this field and the rapid advance of the state of the art, the author cautions that all concerned with specific applications should maintain contact with these programs so that variables associated with their problems may be considered in prescribing proper use of these elements.
