Steve, I had 3 failures in about 50 hours, so simply forgot them
as all they really told me was "it is rather warm in there". Now
I still know it is hot but really nothing I can do about it, so I
am now in ignorant bliss. Neil

That interesting. I have had some mild erosion at the tips
with a couple of probe failures. Do you know what material
the outer shell is made of? I’m not sure about mine but I know
inconel shells are available. I believe 3/16” and 1/4” inconel
probes are available for pre-turbo applications vs 1/8”.

Several EGT
thermocouples have failed internally during the last 500
hours of operation. The failed thermocouple that I
removed today was missing over an inch of the probe. If
it had been upstream of a turbo, the result would
probably have been unpleasant.
