We are doing one mini project in our college, for that we have to sense temperature-out of an induction heater (above 1500 degrees Fahrenheit).
Kindly guide us to get suitable sensor type and give its price/data sheet details also.

Hoping for a good solution........

Perhaps a thin-film sensor or a contactless iR solution might be the way to go.

Indeed, contactless IR solution is the way to go.
For the price/data sheets you may google them.

If you have an aircraft junk yard nearby you might salvage a turbine gas temperature indicator out of a T33.

It is self contained and uses a thermocouple. (Measures up to 1,300deg/C (2.373deg/F))
