Case Temperature Reference Metrology 5. Using the microscope and tweezers, bend the tip of the thermocouple at approximately 10 degree angle by about 0.8 mm [.030 inch] from the tip (Figure 7-17). Figure 7-17. Bending the Tip of the Thermocouple D.5.2 Thermocouple Attachment to the IHS 6. Clean groove and IHS with Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) and a lint free cloth removing all residues prior to thermocouple attachment. 7. Place the thermocouple wire inside the groove; letting the exposed wire and bead extend about 1.5 mm [0.030 inch] past the end of groove. Secure it with Kapton* tape (Figure 7-18). Clean the IHS with a swab and IPA. 8. Verify under the microscope that the thermocouple wires are straight and parallel in the groove and that the bead is still bent. Figure 7-18.
