What is wrong with attaching my sensor wires to the short lengths of copper lead wires found in commercial potted seals?
Copper lead wires impair the accuracy of the thermocouple system. All connections must be completely insulated to prevent moderate to high resistance shorts in the steam environment inside the sterilizer. Further, the conformity of the copper lead wires will not perfectly match the conformity of your thermocouples, resulting in unacceptable calibration and measurement errors.
