possible but better is the new one for the accuracy of signal.

AJAY KUMAR CHANASSERY · Answer

can attach, but no guarantee for accurate output as it depends on resistance.

ahmed ali · Answer

you to weld with the same type of the material of thermocouple type material ie if it type K u need to use alumel and chromel only

Ahmed Helmi Abdel Wahab · Answer

The compensation is usually an RTD sensor which is based on the resistance change according to the temperature.

So if you make a good attach that does not affect the resistance then it is accepted.

Try to fix one junction box to joint it, but you will loose accuracy
