Temperature: Thermocouple life decreases by about 50% when an increase of 50 °C occurs.

Diameter: By doubling the diameter of the WIRE, the life increases by 2-3 times.

Thermic cycling: When THERMOCOUPLES are EXPOSED to thermic cycling from room temperature to above 500°C, their life decreases by about 50% compared to a thermocouple used continuously at the same temperature.

Protection: When thermocouples are covered by a protective SHEATH and placed into ceramic insulators, their life is considerably extended.
