Specifications:
Tip Diameter : 4.0mm
Cable Length: 1500mm
Material: S/steel
This thermocouple has a robust design with a glass fibre insulated cable surrounded by a stainless steel braid. The cable is terminated with a stainless steel shim which allows the thermocouple to be welded or soldered into place on a flat surface. These thermocouples have an ungrounded hot junction for better insulation.
What is a Thermocouple?
A thermocouple is a sensor used to measure temperature in a range of different processes and consists of two wire legs made from different metals joined together at their two ends to form two junctions. The hot, or measuring junction is connected to the body whose temperature is going to be measured. The cold junction or reference junction is connected to a body of known temperature. When the measuring junction is placed on something hot a voltage or potential difference between this and the reference junction occurs. This voltage can then be converted into a temperature measurement using thermocouple reference tables. This process is also known as the Seebeck Effect
What is a Surface Thermocouple?
This thermocouple is designed for measuring the temperature on a surface. Most thermocouples have a sensing tip where there ends of the thermocouple wires are encased in sheaths or protection tubes which do not allow for measuring the temperature of a surface area. In surface temperature sensing thermocouples the welded wire junction is housed in a magnet or adhesive patch or, in this case insulated with MGO and terminated on to a stainless steel shim or 'leaf'. which provides a true surface contact.
Features and Benefits
• Durable glass fibre insulated cable with stainless steel braid
• Ungrounded hot junction for better protection
• Brass Block with tube to be used in manifold
Applications
This Type J leaf thermocouple is ideal for use in applications where low profile temperature detection is required and is commonly used for fitting under band or nozzle heaters
