Hi.
My current build is a Stainless Vessel with a Stainless Thermowell fitted through the base with stainless screw fittings.
When I got the thermocouple the tip (junction) was slightly exposed protruding just beyond its cover I slid the the cover over the the tip prior to use. However I want the fastest response I can get so I would prefer not to cover the tip with rubbery insulation which would slow down heat transfer.
My question is this; does the tip of my k type thermocouple that I intend to use need to be electrically insulated from the thermowell?
