you can use a thermocouple welder to fuse the wires back. as a matter of fact we use the welder to create thermocouple junctions. this is way less expensive that buying already formed thermocouple junctions.

Not to argue, but you can use a spot welder to fuse thermocouple wires, also.

when I order a thermocouple wire for doing oven profiles, it comes in a standard length of 36 inches, will there be any effects if I were to cut the wire down to 9 inches? Will cutting change the readings?

based on experience, no significant change.

How do you plan on fusing the wires back together ?

Cut the loose ends and not the couple? Russ

The ones we use are sealed on the plug end.

Addressing the issue "Will cutting change the readings?" Very Very Doubtful. Here is a link to a helpful guide. http://www.omega.com/techref/ Enjoy, cal

what about 4 cm of kapton tape on each Thermocouple?

And to my knowledge, there is no calibration of Thermocouples. They can only be checked for their continuity and resistive value. The question would appear to be invalid.
