Temperature sensors used for monitoring the temperature in the glass manufacturing process are called thermocouples. These sensors are typically platinum-based and are designed to withstand extremely high temperatures, for example as high as 1500°C to 1700°C, found in the furnaces of container glass manufacturers.
