Ceramic materials in thermocouples are often used as insulators to prevent short - circuits between the two hot electrodes. Common ceramic materials include steatite, alumina, and boron nitride.
steatite ceramic socket​​ is a vital, high-performance insulating component that ensures the accuracy, reliability, and longevity of a thermocouple operating in demanding high-temperature environments. It is the industry-standard choice for a wide range of applications due to its optimal balance of temperature capability, strength, and cost.
