1. A temperature sensor belt comprising:
- at least one temperature sensor configured to provide an indication representative of a temperature of a workpiece while a welding operation, cutting operation, grinding operation, or induction heating operation is performed on the workpiece; and
at least one removable housing into which the at least one temperature sensor is configured to be removably inserted, wherein each removable housing of the at least one removable housing comprises;
a support material configured to be disposed over the at least one temperature sensor when the at least one temperature sensor is inserted into the removable housing, wherein the support material is configured to support the at least one temperature sensor; and
an insulative material at least partially surrounding the at least one temperature sensor when the at least one temperature sensor is inserted into the removable housing, wherein the insulative material is configured to thermally insulate the at least one temperature sensor.
