Experimental results of EMF stability research are presented for MIMS thermocouples of types K and N of external diameters 1.5; 3.0 and 5.0 mm. All thermocouples had heat resistant sheath and were not used before the tests. They were subjected to every-day cyclic heating and cooling. During each cycle there was 6 h annealing in air at the temperature 1200 °C Results shows, that stability of a cable thermocouple in air at the temperature 1200 °C depends, mainly, on its diameter, instead of on thermocouple type or metal sheath material. Acceptable time of operation in a thermal cycling mode for 1.5 mm cable thermocouples is limited by (15, 16) h, and for 3 mm thermocouples it is equal to (40, 45) h. Besides, the effect of signal shunting is shown in the work for a thermocouple under heating of its average part to the temperature 1200 °C Experiment has shown that use of long cable thermocouple of 1.5 mm diameter at the temperatures above 1000°C can lead to serious errors in temperature measurement.
